Art in the heart of Glastonbury
Artist Tach Pollard
Wooded sculpture with gold leaf

Tach sees these creatures as effigies of huge elemental land spirits. These beings are archetypal guardians of the ley lines that traverse and snake across the landscape, interconnecting and energising sacred sites across the earth. They live in the liminal realms but at twilight between the mist and sky they occasionally can be seen.
Golden Cauldron was inspired by the Celtic myths of wizards and Cunning folk who enchanted the land scape with gold in the form of folklore.
Hawthorn is native to many countries in Europe. It has woven itself into the folklore and mythology of many cultures through the ages. This small thorny tree is often known as a fairy tree in Ireland. In Wales it was a Hawthorn tree in which Merlin the magician was said to have embedded and sleeps to this day. The British Isles are full of old Myths about Dragons, mermaids, witches and Giants.
Golden Cauldron is a celebration of Hawthorns magical nature the dark forms that manifest from this gnarly wood are interlaced with the mythical creatures that still walk the lands in the shadows and the liminal realms just beyond our perception.
Golden Cauldron is carved from a single piece of sustainably sourced hawthorn wood. After carving the main body which includes hollowing or distressing areas that I would prefer do not crack.it is then burnished with various blow torches. It is then partially gilded with gold leaf.
There is a fixing on the back for wall hanging.
