Architectural Scale This 7.5 metre tall ‘Green Knight’ has foliated armour hand-beaten in copper and built on two large oak trees. Living ivy planted in irrigated internal planting places bursts through the chinks of his armour making him truly a green knight. In time the copper will take on the soft green of verdigris, producing a wonderful backdrop to the rich, deep green of the ivy. The figure, built in 1998 for a private estate in the Yorkshire Dales also has nesting boxes and a bat roost designed into the figure. |
