||| Pendle Witches Surprise artwork |||
A new land-art installation was created by Phillipe Handford on the side of Pendle Hill – the Hill’s famous dark, brooding nature proved a perfect ‘canvas’ on which to work. What appeared were simply the numerals, 1612, in a seventeenth-century-style script, and made out of bio-degradable material. The artwork was the centrepiece of a year-long Festival which celebrated the famous 'Pendle Witches' (8 women & 2 men) who were tried – and then hung – exactly 400 years ago.
The iconic numerals, at times shrouded in mist, lasted a couple of days before the Rain washed the work away.
