COMING
FULL CIRCLE, Stacksteads Community Woodland, Lancashire, UK |
| |
Designed
like a spinning waterwheel in dry stone. The work has 5
paths into the centre which is planted with an oak tree. The
work is 16m in diameter - the outer wall starts at 1.2m
coming down to seats at 46cm on the inner circle.
White-blossomed hawthorn, apple and cherry are planted
around the outer circle so in the spring the trees appear
like foaming water around a wheel. All paths through the
woodland (to be planted) will converge on the sculpture,
leading the walker into the centre, which is a calm
reflective, sunlit space. The inner circle is big enough to
seat a class of school children and makes an ideal small
outdoor theatre space in the round.
