“David Kemp is concerned with siting sculptures that are evocative of local history and interests, but which also relate visually to their immediate surroundings”..
Ancient Forester 2 has different diameter limbs made trees found within the forest. “The Ancient Forester, a figure of great antiquity, lurks deep in the Gothic forests and wilderness between our ears. He represents an idealised image of man the hunter, the mystic, the guardian. He lives in responsible husbandry with nature.”
