Installation of a triptych from the project Palimpsest in the Avebury Chapel. The chapel includes an exhibition about Avebury and the local landscape and is open on certain days throughout the year. I included the following description of the work:
These clumps of trees are situated near Hackpen Hill along the Ridgeway, 4 miles from Avebury. They are near the site of one of eight white horses in Wiltshire which was cut to celebrate Queen Victoria’s coronation. Clumps of beech trees often appear along local ridges and are considered to have been planted in the 19th century perhaps to provide shelter along ancient by-ways or even to enhance the landscape visually. This they certainly do and in this triptych of images I positioned myself where the sunrise would occur behind the right hand clump.
There’s a bit about the chapel here, but at the time of writing does not include anything about the latest exhibition which has been organised by the Parish Council.
