The Art Trail continues through festival week. Remember to cast your vote in the People's Choice.

Entrants were asked to examine how IMPRINTS …Yours … Mine …Ours … can be portrayed through the use of natural materials in sculptures to harmonise with the landscape.

Explore the ephemeral nature of our organic landscapes through creations built from the materials engendered from our natural surrounds, like grass, mud, dead wood, sand and rocks. Recycled materials or found objects located within the agricultural setting can be used to enhance these organic sculptures.
