Curved Group

Whilst I was monitoring the dismantling of Stove House 5 at the Lion Salt Works many timbers could not be retained for re-instatement when the stove house is rebuilt. One group of these timbers was the light weight cladding timber to the upper sections of the east and west gables.

I was able to offer some of these lengths of cladding to local artist Carolyn Shepherd, who had taken part in the 1st Salt Sunday celebrations with the Salt of the Earth network established by the Bishop of Birkenhead. She has used brine, salt and timber sourced from Lion Salt Works, Solvay and the rock salt mine operated by Salt Union-Compas and Minerals.

The work is to be displayed at the degree show to be held at the Williamson Gallery, Birkenhead - 12 June to ?  and her work was selected to feature in the "Best of the Degree Shows 2010" annual publication at this link http://www.a-n.co.uk/publications/document/627569
