The Fallen Deodar at Dartington

Jilly Sutton's 2009 sculpture is at the very edge of the garden outside the courtyard entrance. A remarkable piece in the way the rings in the wood have been taken advantage of. The sculpture has also been created in bronze. "A massive deodar with a trunk 5ft in diameter, which fell on Dartmoor, offered Sutton a rare sculptural challenge. Cedrus deodara, the Himalayan cedar or sacred Indian fir, derives its botanical name from the Sanskrit word devdar signifying 'tree of the gods' " http://www.sculpture.org.uk/work/000000100541/ .
