getting out there:
From the car park by Eden bridge Lazonby, on B6413,cross bridge, and follow footpath by side of river. Work is near Lacy's Caves.
Alternatively walk along the river from Little Salkeld. |
Hundreds of figures randomly placed in the gaps between the planks of wood will lie on the long boardwalk snaking between the trees beside the River Eden. Beneath is the muddy footpath.
Formed from a small ball of clay and showing the marks of the makers hands, these will be a creation in another Eden. Bone ash, local clay and earth used for the mix are the life and death of all peoples. Far from perfect, they will be covered with dirt filled cracks and breaks - some lying awkwardly, some at peace, others attempting to escape, but all held in their boxes beneath your feet.
Look down or get down; pick up or re-position. When has there ever been a world of respect and kindness? - we forget.
