A large figurative sculpture by a Bath-based artist
has been put in place at Glastonbury Festival.
Anna
Gillespie's 'Tree People' has been installed as part of a 20ft-high gateway to
the festival's Healing Field.
The sculpture
is of two bark covered figures who will sit on top of the gate.
It was designed
to be in keeping with the tree theme for the Healing Field at the festival
which starts on 26 June.
The female
figure will look down on the many visitors who will pass underneath, while the
male will look across to the Pyramid stage.
Ms Gillespie,
who works at her studio in Larkshall, Bath, said: "My sculptures often
feature trees and so I was delighted to be asked to create these two tree
people for the event.
"I have
used bark chippings to create the finished texture as it's sustainable, cheap
and recycled, which works perfectly within the theme of the festival.
"To be
able to see festival goers, hopefully enjoying my work there, will be very
special."
In May, two of
Ms Gillespie's sculptures were featured in a gold medal winning show garden by
designer and broadcaster Chris Beardshaw at RHS Chelsea Flower Show.
