Went to install my new panel in the woods at the annual sculpture trail at High Heathercombe Centre
EDGE is an outdoor sculpture trail on Dartmoor and is set in a woodland with a stream running through. The theme this year is Renewal.
I haven’t tried to hang a stained glass window in the woods before and I really like how it looks suspended in the trees. Stained glass is usually in such solid stone and brick built openings and its quite different looking at it just suspended in the air.
The panel mixes fused glass and traditional stained glass painting and leading. Its in a very sturdyy frame, so lets hope it survives the Dartmoor Weather! Heavy rain and thunderstorms are forecast this week, so fingers crossed.
I don’t usually add text to my own work, but I have written a little bit of text that goes around the edge. No idea where this new found poetic streak has come from!
The panel is called Woodland Education and the words say
Gazing up, at the lacework sky of leaves,
‘Is that all?’, she sighed.
‘Oh no’, hushed the trees in wolfish reply.
‘You Can Always Try Again’.
