Witness

Picture
Picture
Witness was commissioned in 2019 by the owners of Bere Mill, Hampshire, following a devastating fire that destroyed a significant collection of art.
Soon after the fire, they began to rebuild.  They invited Sophie to make a landscape piece to symbolise the journey that they went on to restore what had been lost.  

The circle on one side is made from marine ply, grooved by a great circular saw in a stone masons yard.  The colours are those of Bere Mill -  myriad greens, weatherworn timbers, soil, sky - with shimmers of 24 carat gold to celebrate the triumph of owners' decision to rebuild. The other side is heat-treated copper, sealed with lacquer to prevent oxidising. 

The square forms the lower half of the sculpture, which has been divided according to the Golden Section.
 
The more intimate, painted wooden disc faces towards the home, the dramatic fire-coloured copper welcomes people to a new arts building, now a part of Bere Mill.
