THE AIM OF THE SHEEPFOLDS PROJECT

SHEEPFOLDS is Cumbria County Council's major county-wide sculpture, landscape and environment project by the internationally renowned artist ANDY GOLDSWORTHY. The project started in January 1996 for the 'U.K. Year of Visual Arts' in what was then the Northern Arts Board region. Beginning as part of this programme Andy Goldsworthy has created a body of environmentally responsive sculptural works across Cumbria using existing sheepfolds, washfolds and pinfolds. 46 folds have been completed with the possibility of more in the future subject to further funding being available.
