Art at Tremenheere
Dramatic landscape and planting provide the backdrop to contemplative but inspirational artworks. Internationally renowned artists such as James Turrell and David Nash have interacted with the landscape to create site specific permanent works which harmonise with the setting. The land also provides a forum for ever-changing temporary, or even ephemeral arts in all its forms.
Tewlwolow Kernow
James Turrell
An underground elliptical domed chamber which James Turrell has designed as a space from which to view the sky, especially at twilight.
Aqua Oscura
James Turrell
A Victorian underground tank for storing water has been transformed by the artist to a natural light projection space. Images from the tree canopy slowly become visible in a darkened chamber. Atmospheric...magical.
Open for viewing Saturdays 10.30am-12.30pm.

Untitled
Kishio Suga
Minimalist installation - a line of logs within woodland. Incised line along logs may represent one's journey through life. The entire piece mirrors the cycle of life and decay in the natural world.
Black Mound
David Nash
Powerful collection of charred oak shapes in a sculpted huddle. David Nash has sited this work to resonate with the mature oak woodland and bluebells in season.
Camera Obscura
Billy Wynter
This work is carefully sited to sit within a pivotal point in the landscape. Internal images present a 360° view of the gardens in an hypnotic, magical way.
