Sculpture and the Land

New Milestones

Turning Point, Manor Farm, Godmanstone,
by Christine Argus

Turning Point was commissioned by farmers Will and Pam Best in 1987 when they were actively engaged in changing to organic farming methods. Christine commented at the time of the proposal:

"As the 23 young trees in the clearing develop into a small copse, the feeling and space of the site will change considerably. This meant taking on the element of time and change as a positive aspect of the sculpture.

The three sculptures are not carvings reflecting specific objects; their function is to draw attention to what is happening around them, both physically and in time."

The works were completed in May 1988.
