This artwork by Angharad Pearce Jones is called the Haybarn Screen. It is based on a newly pleted hedge, during the period between Autumn and Spring, when it is dormant. The work has been created in steel, galvanised and painted to withstand rust. It is a practical and decorative piece in the renovated haybarn.
It makes a wonderful entrance to the Centre.
