Made for Hebden Bridge Sculpture Trail 2005. A grid of paving slabs, 4x4 metres, overlaid with collaged images of the surrounding trees in winter.
'Overlay' concerns the eternal movement and cycles of nature, whilst investigating the relationship between the natural and the built environment.... .... specifically, the town of Hebden Bridge and its surrounding landscape. “I very much like the way your images attached to stones work. As I said when we talked at your sculpture trail site, they put me in mind of water reflecting sky, which is quite magical since stone and water are such opposites, as are stone and sky. It especially touches me that it’s the image which does the magic of turning one natural element into its opposite, since these images are such inescapably artifactual, manifestly ‘made’, technical things – laser prints, digital mages, PVA, sealant etc. it’s a kind of coup de theatre, very dramatic.” Michael Hales, National Trust Volunteer at the Sculpture Trail.
