The live/work space of experimental sculptors Laura Ford and Andrew Sabin – a film by Luke + Nik

Video Description

Tucked between the South Downs and the saltings of the natural Chichester Harbour is a wildflower meadow, replete with four acres of woodland, a lake, chalk stream and suite of big barns. Walk its narrow grassy paths and, along with the occasional Brent goose or water vole, you'll find a badger in a dress rifling through a bin. Nearby, a woman with limbs of branch and root stands espaliered against a wall of corrugated dark brown metal. Outsized concrete structures that bring to mind cordyceps fruiting bodies or misshapen mud dauber hives have taken root in the tall grass. A trio of bronze girls with hats for faces dance on paving bricks. This is the creation of sculptors Andrew Sabin and Laura Ford – a walk-in wunderkammer that combines a sculpture garden, a gallery, an art storage facility and a live-work studio space ...
