Ancient Pathways, a new collection of Avebury-inspired paintings, opens on Saturday 5 September at National Trust Avebury.
Created by Artist in Residence Georgie Weedon, the collection includes Avebury’s standing stones, colourful landscapes of the Ridgeway, Silbury Hill and West Kennet Long Barrow, and still lifes of spring and summer flowers from the garden.
“Avebury is extraordinary. Every visit feels different, every season brings something new, and the landscape, garden and stones all seem to hold stories. Ancient Pathways captures the changing moods of the year, from the colours and textures of the garden to the vast sense of time and space that surround the monuments in the landscape.” Georgie Weedon
The paintings will be on display until 1 November in the refurbished Racquets Court in Avebury Manor Garden.
Garden admission applies, but entry is free for National Trust members.
A second piece of work, titled Welcome Home, will also be available in the historic dovecote.
The installation, featuring a single sung voice, invites people to pause and be still before continuing their visit.
