Multimedia arts project wins Sycamore Gap tree commission after public vote

‘Living archive’ will mark loss of Northumberland landmark with storytelling, sound and sculpture using saved wood

A new artwork will transform preserved wood from the felled Sycamore Gap tree into a “living archive” after a public vote.

The community arts charity Helix Arts and George King Architects were named winners of the vote on Saturday, after being shortlisted for a National Trust commission in March.
