Materials:
Elm
Description:
Commissioned by the Woodland Trust as boundary to a newly planted
site, the waving, rise and fall rhythm of the fence was
created using a set number of tapered palings, fixed a regular
distance apart over each 12 foot section, with the direction of
taper being inverted at the halfway point. The design incorporates a
number of carved, plant-like elements between each section and at
the entrance.
