Commission Title: Time Tower

Sculptor:
Philip Bews

Production Period:
September - December 2000

Site:
Nunwell Park, Bromyard, Herefordshire, England

Production Method:
The design was arrived at after doing local research with Diane Gorvin’s help. Phil selected lengths of English Oak, up to 250mm square section, for the main members, from a local timber merchant. These lengths were transported to the artists’ workshop for jointing, assembly and carving of details, such as apples, a child with a teddy, a man drinking cider, birds and a sheep.

Paul Wigley assisted with the jointing of the structure and Andrew Moran helped with the carving along with two work experience students Chris Lowe and Chris Douglas.
