ENQUIRE ABOUT THIS WORK


◁



Multiple exposure photographs taken along the Tinners Way (an 18 mile ancient pathway) are mounted on English oak, then set on galvanised steel swinging gate hinges. On the reverse side are pre-decimal one penny coins hammered into the natural splits in the wood, like a wish tree but also making reference to the lodes of copper that were mined in this area between the 18^th and 20^th centuries, a heritage emphasised by the addition of a found piece of tin sheet.
