Fig Cairn
Invitation by Christopher Meynell to participate with approximately 70 other sculptors in the Bergh Apton Sculpture Trail in Norwich during May and June 2005.

Using tree limbs collected from Bergh Apton, I have built a cave under the fig tree in the farthest corner of Holly Tree House in Bergh Apton.
I have sliced the limbs into tree rings, and joined the rings together with wire, jigsaw puzzle style. The cave will be approximately 12 foot across the mouth extending back 10 foot at the longest point. Fig Cairn will be barely visible from May to November, the beauty revealed in winter when all else lies dormant.

Inverted Space
Installation at Whitehouse Arts, Cambridge, August 2002

A construction of an undulating brick wall made of sticks and wire situated under the low bough of an old willow tree. The morning sunlight shines through the tree leaves through a high set round window that I have built within the stick wall. I invite the viewer to think about the perception of the space and consider natural materials that would often be discarded.
