Two collaboratively made circles, inspired by the prehistoric stone and timber circles of the Atlantic archipelago and their history of communal construction, and intended to echo the relationship between the two villages of East and West Coker.
The first circle will be made by school children on Friday. Anyone interested in making the second is invited to join Tom’s workshop on Saturday at 11am, £5 – booking required.
Work by Tom Sewell is also on show at OSR Projects.
Co-selected by Hogchester Arts.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Tom Sewell works across sculpture, drawing, installation, print, performance, photography and writing. His practice investigates human relationships with nature, using research into (pre)history, mythology, language, landscape and life to open up the porous border between nature and culture, questioning that dualism and exploring how it shifts through time and space.

5. The Orchard, East Close, West Coker
Fri 26 – Sun 28 May, 10am – 5:30pm
You are invited to enter this specially constructed bird hide, and take a moment to step away from other festival goers, to anonymously survey the scene beyond and to listen.
Throughout the world, the cuckoos’ lengthy migrations herald the arrival of spring. Famous for laying their eggs in the nests of other smaller birds, they provide an apt metaphor for the asymmetry between the global rich, their fellow humans, and their more-than-human kin.
