The Dells, The Dells


For the last few weeks I have been working on a project for the Waterways Trust and British Waterways. Based at Auchinstarry Marina on the Clyde Canal near Croy a 'Sense and Sensitivities Garden' has been created and a number of artists have been involved in placing wood, ceramic, glass and structural pieces around the Marina.
My contribution has been a series of living willow installations most notably the 'Dells'. These proved a little challenging as the commission was to have the top curved in while I became focussed on the arches, which I quite liked sort of leaning back. They reminded me of a group holding hands and leaning back. However I finally overcame this slight obsession and now the Dells are happily enclosed.
