Inverted Tree
Artist-in-residence in the Meadow at Haddenham Galleries
between March and June 2005.
Funded by Arts Council England – East.

Recreating beauty and wonder from previously discarded tree limbs and incorporating donated tree limbs from the residents in the village of Haddenham. All the varying sized limbs were sliced into approximately 20mm thick rings and then fitted together jigsaw style using wire. The trunk of Inverted Tree was transplanted into a self-seeded Ash Coppice in the Meadow at Haddenham Galleries and I then built the branches on to the trunk in that place. I have created her so she reaches up into the branches of the young Ash coppice so eventually they will support each other as the Ash coppice grows. During this growth you will hardly see Inverted Tree during the leafy spring and summer season but it will come into its own glory during the bare winter months.
