The Living Wood Arch by Anthony Holloway

Highlight • Structure

The sculpture is shaped like a climbing plant. The plant grows from the ground, climbs up over a path and then falls back down, returning to the earth.
It was intended for the sculpture to take the form of an arch, a familiar, functional object that would invite people to engage with it physically.
