Exploring Goitstock

Goitstock Woods is a local beauty spot with twisting paths amongst the trees of a steep, narrow valley following the path of Goitstock Beck which falls in a series of rills and waterfalls.

This piece was a further development of the Goitstock woods theme, developing the feeling of enclosure by the trees which arch over the fast flowing stream and the prominent, twining root systems.

Continuing to develop this theme, in this case I wanted to convey the feeling of the falling, twisting, bubbling beck surrounded by the trunks of the many trees. It is made from stoneware and porcelain paperclays.
