"Moonlit Path" at Petworth Park



PETWORTH, UK.- Andy Goldsworthy has made a chalk path through Petworth Park, landscaped by ’Capability’ Brown in the 18th century. The path will be experienced at night on a full moon.

"I first worked at night - it is like being somewhere else. If chalk represents another side and way of looking at land, so does the night. Perception, feeling and senses are changed by darkness. A whole different range of emotions is released at night. We have fear of the dark - it is unnerving. At first I felt strange being out and alone in the dark in a wood or on a mountain but now feel a sense of protection under its cover. I want to understand, explore and use the different responses and emotions provoked by night.

In some ways because it is less easy to see, other senses become more acute. By day we are spectators but at night the division between place and ourselves becomes obscure. Form becomes less defined - the experience is more intrsopective."

Crispin Scott, Mational trust Property Manager said: "The splendour of petworth Park is clear for all to see at any time of the year. The Moonlit Path gives the park another dimension and will enhance the feeling of wilderness you get in the countryside at night. Petworth’s changing of light, weather and seasons will be reflected in this path."
