“An everlasting animal stretching into the future and the past, and, like all living things, having the power to change out of recognition and yet remain the same.” (George Orwell)

During the three months of the “Storytellers” exhibition at the Beaney, Canterbury, the sculpture: Hooden Horses (3 Men of Kent) was joined by a number of smaller works. The “Great Expectations” series: Minuments to Kent.

These artworks elaborated on Kentish identity and evolved the project to include narratives of Aspiration, Anarchy, Resistance, Movement, Innovation, Conservatism, Collectivism and the Bucolic occurring from the Stone Age to the present day.

The stories we tell about ourselves, the stories others tell about us and the stories we tell about others.

This is an ongoing collaborative project, if you have a story to tell about Kent contact me.

“There are no walls or fences. My garden’s boundaries are the horizon.” (Derek Jarman)
