Clear Fell , 2006 Water Installation Clay, Smoke fire, Wood, Water The water installation reflects the history of Eskmills where trees were felled to make way for building the mill. The row of clay tree stumps represents the felling process. Water gathers in the lower level as a pond and the many tree rings floating in the pond resemble lilies giving a feeling of tranquillity which contrasts with the more sombre tone of the tree stumps. This juxtaposition reflects changes to the locale, both in the past where trees were felled, and in the present where the mill buildings have been restored and woodland areas regenerated to provide green and tranquil surroundings. <<< Back Next >>>
