I’m very excited to announce that the casting process for my new project has begun. The mould for The Tree Charter Bell is currently being made at Loughborough Bell Foundry.
The bell has significance in terms of it being used to call people together and also as a warning sign. Using this idea as a trigger and as part of a growing body of my current research, I intend to bring groups of people together in order to consider relationships to significant trees, nature and historic places.
The aim is to explore how we feel in regard to our changing environments and how we communicate these feelings - what are the possibilities for expressing how we feel? can we send messages out in order to express our fears and is it possible to instigate action through artistic interventions?.
Using tree stories, the bells and the data recorded from all the significant trees, I hope to generate further outcomes.
