Series of two gateway charred oak carvings for Buckfastleigh, Devon. The imagery relates to the wool industry, with a ball of wool shape alluded to on the top and a shuttle negative shape. They also look like figures from a distance, they are complimented by four seats and forty five bollards in the high street.
