The Clockwork Forest
greyworld 2011
This is an unusual work for London-based collective greyworld, in that they normally base their sculptures in urban spaces. This one however, can be found on the Ridding Wood Trail and consists of seven oversized keys embedded in trees along the walk. The rhyme at the start of the trail explains:
"Seven trees there are to find
And in each one a key to wind
Ten turns it takes to make the tree
Reveal its secret melody
Look up above and you will see
Hidden keys in the canopy!"
In 2012, greyworld installed a giant sun in Trafalgar Square for one day, which used 210,000 watts to illuminate the entire square for three hours after sunset.
