Tremenheere Pond Series Dicksonia 920 x 920mm 2023
The Tremenheere Pond Series reflects aspects of a pond that hosts a pocket of life just off a stretch of the Camino de Santiago, the St Michael’s Way pilgrimage path in Cornwall, which stretches from Lelant near St Ives to St Michael’s Mount. This path, which passes through Tremenheere Sculpture Gardens, and sacred wells found along the route inspired a previous series of work. It is a lush haven and a place for fish, frogs, newts, dragonflies, water lilies, pondweed, gunnera, cordyline, rush and sedge. Tremenheere Sculpture Gardens has a sculpture by Rebecca, entitled Stachys, installed in 2024. It is next to established groves of Phyllostachys bamboo which inspired the work.
