Kielder: Falstone Stell
As part of Kielder Partnerships acclaimed Art and Architecture programme Colin Wilbourn was commissioned to create a sculpture for the village of Falstone in the North Tyne Valley near the Kielder dam.
The design of the sculpture fuses the traditional dry stone sheepfold, or stell, with a cosy enclosed space with two, facing, cushioned sofas with lacy antimacassars made of stone and steel. The rug between the sofas depicts the lost villages under the dam.
