Three major sculptures have now been placed at Palmer, They have been carefully placed. They also, deliberately, do not overwhelm the landscape. I have had no attempted restrictions placed on me by committees - what a relief! This was of course a further and primary reason for buying the land. I feel strongly, that significant art work, as with significant music, grows out of unrestricted real situations rather than artificial ones contrived by committees where the final outcome is often a compromised work.
The Palmer Sculpture and Environmental landscape is a long term project. Two decades will be needed to bring it to its lull potential. Already plants / animals are reappearing. Sculptures will be placed in a \ considered manner over that time period.
I hope that it will strongly / subtly convey the reality of the interconnected environment we live in, an environment which must be cared for.
