Salvaging my work the creature emerges

I’ve rearly enjoyed creating my creature at Furzey over the last month, he’s gradually come to life

When iI first started creating I imagined a pod or nest hidden amongst the trees, created from a variety of materials that I could find, trimmings left from the gardeners

During the stormy weather in January the tree split and I arrived to find most of it gone, it was quite disappointing but the gardeners had done what they could to save it so I decided to carry on.

I was really aware that we needed to put signage up so that visitors would know not to touch it.
