Future exhibition

Bishop Oakland ExhibitionFinders Seekers

Monday 11 July to Saturday 27 August

Bishop Oakland; an installation by artist Bethan Maddocks

Inspired by the ancient trees and forests of County Durham visitors will explore a forest full of paper tree trunks, unfurling foliage and coloured leaves that they can touch, listen, play and add to.

The immersive exhibition will be inspired by County Durham’s trees, as well as its ancient flora – from the prehistoric  carboniferous forests that created the coal seams beneath the region, to the hunting grounds of the Bishops of Durham. After walking through a giant forest; ferns rising up, branches and leaves stretching down, visitors will be able to create their own paper artwork to take home or add, as Bishop Oakland grows and blooms over the summer.  The artwork will encourage play and reflection and will celebrate the forests and associated industry of the area whilst also acknowledging that we have to care for our limited  resources and our region’s diverse nature.
