Location:
A small Suffolk sheep farm in 'Constable Country', a one hour train ride from Liverpool Street station, London. A group of rustic barns surrounded by pastures grazed by sheep and through which a tributary of the river Wen runs. Also a lily pond which was originally fished by monks in the 13th century which lies beside the remains of a flint wall once forming part of a small priory. A 5 acre area of woodland made up mainly of sweet chestnut trees and bluebells in the spring completes the property.

Work is made in response to or that provoked by the space, location, aesthetics, communities or traditions of rural life. Through the work it is hoped to add to the debate about the relevance of contemporary art in rural life and offer a platform for rural life and its issues.
