Gate project getting underway.

I will be getting started on this gate on tuesday for the design development brief. There may be a few changes happening, but it will be very close to this design.

The installation site is a garden behind Berrington Hall. The piece was theoretically commissioned by the orignal owner of Berrington Hall; Thomas Harley, who made his money in the ocean shipping industry by shipping provisions and arms to naval ships at sea. I was trying to capture a naval theme with the compass star and smooth curves of filled sails. The post will be hidden in bushes that surround the opening.
