Corylus Avellana

The sculpture position is chosen to signify to the visitor that they are within the Arboretum area of the park.
The concept for this sculpture comes from using the Cobtree leaf.
The distinctive shape of the leaf is CNC machine cut from a slab of Irish Blue Limestone by
and Latin name of the tree and leaf will be carved onto the surface of the slab.
The stone with its hollow leaf outline will create an ever-changing window of colour as the trees change with the seasons.
The stone cut from the slab with its distinctive leaf shape pattern is securely fixed to the ground. It rests on the ground like a metaphor for a leaf that has fallen from a tree.
The cut out leaf shape will be the correct height to be used as a sculptural seat.

Seed Stack

 The concept for this sculpture comes from the variety of seeds and plants produced and found within Cobtree Park.
This is a fun and playful sculpture, which also references the wildlife one might encounter within the woodland setting as they forage and harvest for food.
The seeds also represent growth and new life cycles, which supports the history of the park from its original beginnings and owners through to its current users, the people of Maidstone.
