The Wordsworth Trust kindly asked me to install a 'sheep line' after seeing my installation at Kendal last year. As part of the 'Home within a Home' exhibition (on until 14th June 2009) a dry stone wall has been created by Alistair Irving. The wall is a response to Wordworth's poem 'Michael' which addresses youth, age and change. The Trust asked me to create a'sheep line' in the wall. I used two Herdwick fleeces, one a lambs fleece, the other an older sheep fleece. The line starts with the dark red tones of the lamb and traces through the wall maturing into the softer grey of the adult fleece.
