Ebb and Flow: Sailor's Path Sculptures
This stack of terracota vases stands slightly to the north of the sailor's path in Black Heath Wood (there is another slightly to the south of the path): it is one of a series of three temporary sculptures by artist Jonathan Keep.
This one is entitled "Neolithic, Bronze, Iron, Romano, Saxon", and a leaflet published by Suffolk Coastal district council explains:
"The forested section of Sailors Path has intriguing theatrical spaces dappled with pools of light. To heighten this experience, stacked terracotta figurative forms, referencing the pottery from Neolithic times to Anglo Saxon pre glazed wares, stand alone alongside the path. Reminding us of the generations that have passed through the forest the ‘stacks’ of pots are as they would be found in archaeological excavations, with the oldest at the bottom to the more recent at the top."
