AMBITIOUS new works by artist Tim Martin, inspired by the sites in which they are located are currently on display at several locations locally.

Tim has worked with a number of local schools and colleges to involve them in the creating of large 'multi-stake' sculptural works.

The works tie in with the 'Arts and Crafts' designs of William Morris, whose original works are currently forming a major exhibition at RHS Rosemoor.

The works also make visual links between Rosemoor, the unique Torrington Common lands and the town itself, where they can be seen at The Plough.

On moving between the formal and landscape gardens at Rosemoor, viewers will be met by a meadowed field of 400 William Morris inspired designs — as visitors pass by and look back they become a single vibrant colour complementing the meadow flowers in which they sit. 

Standing in the gazebo, above the large arboretum at Rosemoor visitors will encounter a reconnection with Great Torrington. A line of 'stakes' lead the eye across the arboretum, up the trunk of a young silver birch through a gap in the trees, to a further 'landscape' sculpture on Torrington Common and on to the town church.
