Event Information
Inspired by the beautiful old stairwell of Wiveliscombe Town Hall, this installation uses natural materials to express the artist’s vision of sanctuary.
Designed to soothe and calm, it sets out to offer the viewer a few moments of refuge in an increasingly turbulent world. Through this work, the artist highlights our deep human connection to nature - the healing power to be found there, the need to grow things, and the responsibility to respect and protect the natural environments we are privileged to inhabit.
Reflecting on the role of gardening and growing, I realise it's where I find sanctuary—a place of refuge and also joy. For millions of people, sanctuary is not a given. Many have no safe place to call their own. With this piece, I hope to draw attention to that reality and inspire compassion toward those who may never have the security we often take for granted.
No need to book - just turn up. All donations will go towards Wiveliscombe Town Hall
Each event runs from 11:00am until 4:00pm
