    Heather Peak and Ivan Morison: Silence – Alone in a World of Wounds

    Silence – Alone in a World of Wounds is installed alongside Upper Lake within a stand of birch trees and aims to create solitary communion with the natural world. Responding to the question 'Can art save us from extinction?', the artists developed a sculptural space made of natural materials including timber and thatch. It acts as an extended open pavilion and becomes a framework and quiet space set within nature.
  4. A group of people engage in a creative workshop in a bright, modern space. Some are gathered around a table covered with craft materials, while others are focused on their phones or chatting. The walls feature artistic silhouettes.
