Where do they live? Children from Three Ways School asked this question…answering it with leaves, twigs, moss and their own hands. Alongside Forest artists @morgane_shaban @le__var__studio @matthewleece They made homes for creatures. Tiny, careful, unique brings and nests. Tomorrow, we invite you to do the same. Entry Hill is a home. For residents. For wildlife. For imagination. And right now, it is being shaped — by schools, by artists, by a community that believes this land belongs to everyone. Come and help shape it. 🌿 Where Do They Live? — Community Workshop 📍 Entry Hill, Bath 📅 Tomorrow — Saturday 16 May ⏰ 11.00–13.00 and 14.00–16.00 👶🧓 All welcome. Ages 0–100. Free.

Forest Cathedral opened today at Messums West with an immersive event open to all. Artist Andrew Amondson invited visitors to lie down within the installation and experience its shifting light and enveloping soundscape. The event concluded with a fascinating discussion, as guests reflected on their individual experiences and shared their responses to the work. Andrew has also created coloured glass sculptures that sit in the slit windows of the tithe barn. On a sunny day the light streams through these between the hours of 11:30-12:30 creating coloured shafts of light. Forest Cathedral is open Thursday - Saturday during gallery hours.

What does it feel like to be a bee?
 Last year, we invited third-year architecture students from @bathspauni to Entry Hill to build an answer… A hive. A structure you could step inside. 

A way of understanding, through your body, not a textbook, what it means to share a world with other living things.
 This is what Forest of Imagination does, opening the field to students, makers, young people, children, adults and everyone who believes that creativity and the climate emergency belong in the same conversation.
 In less than a month, a new generation arrives. New students. Children from primary and secondary schools across Bath, community groups from all corners of the city. New installations. New questions.
 Forest is not just a place to see artworks - it is a place to think about what comes next. 🎬 Director & Colourist: @joetaylormedia

The night before Forest Cathedral opens @messumswest , I am looking back at how it all came together and appreciating all the people that helped me along the way. Early conversations with @arco.xyz - shaping the pitch deck with @magda.nark - drawing with @henrilacoste & @shadymahers - tests with @matzematix , and, making it all possible, @olyakalina , I can’t thank you enough. My friend and neighbor @cyrilkriwan for showing up when I needed you most. It was a great team at Messums on the install led by @hannah_m_davies Beautiful to be working again with @purrdata on the sound installation. I am forever grateful to @johnny_messum for bringing it all together with @winchestercathedral and @drpennyhay , founder of @forestofimagination , for bringing me;) Last but not least, my family, who cut out leaves day and night and supported me through it all, @birgeamondson , Nova and John. I love you! #forestcathedral #measumswest #art #installation soundinstalla

This week at Messums West saw the install of the new art installation Forest Cathedral created by Berlin-based artist Andrew Amondson. Forest Cathedral will transform the tithe barn at Messums West, with its tree-like beams, into a living forest of light and sound. Akinetic sculpture of branching limbs and mirrored leaves gently moves with air currents created by visitors, filtering light through this forest canopy. Layered shadows animate the floor below while reflected light illuminates the ancient timbers above. Forest Cathedral is a collaboration between Messums Creative, Forest of Imagination, Bath Spa University and Winchester Cathedral.

Inside a chrysalis, the caterpillar doesn’t just grow wings. It dissolves. Almost completely…into what scientists call Imaginal Soup. Within that soup, clusters of imaginal cells survive. They carry the blueprint of what’s coming. At first the body attacks them. But they keep multiplying — until the butterfly begins. This June, artist Matthew Leece @matthewleece responds to this extraordinary process in an installation at Entry Hill. 13 June – 21 June. Entry Hill, Bath. Free. 📸 by @wwarby
