The artwork takes the form of an ‘ancient’ crumbling stone gateway with words inscribed on it. Woolley Woods is seen as the ‘wood between the worlds’ where you can find portals into other universes. A group of artists (Ana Ospina, Gordon Young, Saffron Waghorn, Ian Cooper, Tony Slater and Russell Coleman) put the finishing touches, carving images from the legend of Fenrir and ancient Viking runes to add an extra layer of enchantment to the stones.
