The second set of work we made was this pair of Chestnut sculptures, constructed using the branches cut down to clear the view around the nearby 'viewing log'. Starting with a tripod-type structure bound together using natural plant ties, we watched it evolve as we threaded more and more branches together to create an intertwining cluster. This impulsive action led to interesting elements of balance and movement coming into play, becoming more of a happening than a fixed sculpture.
Trying to use as much of the material gathered as possible, we also experimented with processes of stacking. The cut ends of the twigs in amongst this formation were reflective of larger scale log piles found around the Wildart Trail.
