Greatham ‘Through Woods and Wheat’
Infinite…
A tower of planes shaped into organic forms that curve and undulate, ending in a point. Smooth, thin and inspired by the slow running beck, the ancient woodland and arable crops found here.
The piece echoes the flowing water, the leaves on the trees and the ears of wheat and barley surrounding it.
