The viewing of the Moore through the art
In Wicken Fen in Cambridgeshire, a new artwork offers the passengers the opportunity to relax and look at the Moors From Within its walls.
The sculptural work of art, entitled, MOTHER. was Heather Peak and Ivan Morison from the Studio, Morison created by artists.
It is designed to mimic the barn, which was once seen in areas throughout the UK. It was inspired by descriptions in Richard Mabey 's to Heal book of nature, in which he will recover and had to watch from the severe depression, wandering, and writing on The Beautiful and unexplored landscapes in The East of England.
"the button with The ellipsis after the MOTHER... be added to the elimination of a second word, the the viewer," explains the artist, Ivan Morison.
He gives his own examples: "Mother Earth connects to ideas of the Natural World - its supporting qualities, as well as Our Own responsibility, and personal connections to him.
"HOME is what connects us with The Place we belong to, in this landscape, within a society, within a country.
"the mother ship makes us think of the sculpture as being like a ship that could take us places. This could be on an imaginary trip around the Solar System , or it could be a trip that connects The Past with an imagined Future - so that work to soothe a time-machine - art. Or it could be A Journey into Our Own minds - a rehab journey, from excited to. "
Morison continues: "The sculpture offers a space to reflect on the troubling thoughts, as well as an opportunity to, perhaps, But still the mind for a while - by focusing on the simple physical qualities of The Work and the changing character of the landscape that surrounds it. "
The wood was felled for the construction of the sculpture from the artist's own forest and milled by the couple in their workshop. The walls and roof are made from local straw, with the scarifying is done in the traditional style, the Haystack is a master thatcher, whose first task as an apprentice was to straw or hayrick - in the case of Wicken Fen .
The Work was supported on behalf of the Cambridgeshire-based Wysing Arts Centre, as part of the region-wide arts commissioning program, New regions, and by Arts Council England and The National Trust .
