Regarding the sacred…In a former royal forest, tree surgeons, last week, began chain-sawing great, ancient Oak trees, many centuries old! Why? Well, all to rebuild a church monument…The ancient Oaks are being sacrificed to rebuild the wooden-framed spire of Notre-Dame de Paris.
Plundering the Sacred… 1,000 oaks are due to be hacked down by the end of March to rebuild the spire and roof of the cathedral…we value monuments and sacrifice the great trees that sustain our life on this beautiful Mother Earth…unforgivable!
These photographs I share with you have all been taken this morning, the 15th day of March 2021…most are a testament to my church, Mother Earth.

The wool is mostly Donegal Tweed leftovers from other projects. Each piece will go to form a blanket.The woodland floor is coming to life…The tunnel with its 16year old plastic perfectly intact and good for a few more years yet!Rhubarb…one of the first fruit crops in the holding…though technically its a vegetable!The choir of birdsong is supported here.The Bard (c. 1817) by John Martin, Yale Center for British Art
