Shadow was one of the first sculptures to be created for the Kielder Art & Architecture programme.
Inspired by and celebrating the ancient trees along the Beeches Walk at Kielder Waterside, Shadow encourages visitors to experience its many textures that echo those found on the nearby beech trees.
The work consists of eight parts and is made from local Whinstone, sandstone, and earth. The parts are seen to relate to each other and create a 'shadow' stretching down the hill where none would otherwise fall.
