Tree Pole

Somewhere Nowhere 2018

Harriet and Rob Fraser make up Somewhere Nowhere, the team also responsible for the 'Treefold: Centre' up on Carron Crag. This is one of ten 'tree pole' sculptures dotted about the United Kingdom, all with a different poem carved into the trunk, written by Harriet.

​

The pole can be found just over the river from Kennels Road car park, next to 'Boat Race' and can't be missed if you are walking the Millwood Trail.

​

Here's the poem in full:

​

Wander here,

look up and see:

branches high,

canopy green.

​

Wonder now

at things unseen:

how trees knit land,

slow water's flow,

keep air clean,

and hold earth's health

in wood and leaves.

 

Be warned - it takes ten full circuits of the pole to read the verse in full, making this the most dizzying sculpture since that roundabout on the old playground.
