The woods are located in the site between the local crematorium and a farmer’s graveyard. Because of this, Edwina used the subject of human mortality as the starting point for the commission.

The art of living’s emphasis was about celebrating and reinforcing people’s sense of vitality. Throughout the 18 month project, Edwina worked closely with local residents and biodiversity experts across Scotland to create a unique Blood-Chlorophyll labyrinth, which acts as a spiral pathway into the newly created woodland walks.

A labyrinth is a single path, walked for contemplation. Unlike walking through woodland, it is impossible to get lost.
