Flags of the Forest

Step into a world of reflection and reinvention with Flags of the Forest, an immersive installation by artist Fiona Campbell. The work explores the beauty and resilience of nature. Reclaimed and botanically-dyed fabrics are combined with wood, metal, and other found materials. This multi-layered artwork was originally created by Fiona at Tremenheere Sculpture Gardens, Cornwall. These eco-flags, rich with texture and meaning, celebrate the biodiversity of woodlands and the hope for a thriving natural world. Visitors can walk among the soft hangings and hard lines, experiencing the interplay of art and sustainability. There will also be a soundscape by Ushara Dilrukshan, adding another layer to this sculptural installation. Alongside the artwork, Fiona will be running a free drop-in workshop on Saturday 12th April, 11am-2pm at the Popup. Be inspired by the installation and enjoy a relaxed, creative space where you can let your imagination wander. No need to book - just drop in and join the fun! Seed producer Laura Hylton said: “We’re thrilled to bring Fiona Campbell’s thought-provoking installations to Bridgwater. Flags of the Forest showcases the incredible potential of creativity and sustainability to inspire change and spark important conversations about our environment.” Free exhibition Drop-in Workshop: Saturday 12 April, 11am - 2pm. Free. All welcome aged 6+ (children accompanied by an adult). No need to book!
