这是由 Philippe Hardford设计的英格兰潘多森林的附魔植物雕塑。400年前，在这座神秘的森林里，曾发生过一起可笑的政治迫害事件。10名妇女被认定为巫婆，同时被指控谋杀，并最终在这里被执行绞刑。这段历史使人感到不安，但是Philippe Hardford诙谐的植物雕塑，以幽默的方式，向世人再次展现了这一段历史。
设计师利用以前被砍伐的树木，石头，天然材料和几个钢架，模仿出一棵棵弯身顶礼膜拜的树木。当游客们沿着林间小道前行时，会发现Sarah McDade制作的10个陶瓷的女巫雕塑，Steve Blaylock的蝙蝠、猫头鹰和蜘蛛，木雕大师Martyn Bednarczuk的大型女巫猎人橡木雕等。

A series of enchanting woodland sculptures on the Pendle Sculpture Trail mark the 400th anniversary of one of the most ludicrous witch hunts in history. Persecuted in a flit of mania at the Lanchashire trials, 10 of the so-called Witches of Pendle Forest were charged with murder and executed by hanging. This is all very disturbing of course, but Philippe Hardford's extraordinary wooden sculptures Reconnected 1 and Reconnected 2 are bound to cheer you up.
Hardford conceived the idea of a sculpture trail back in 2010 and has since implemented that vision with a host of wonderful, earth-loving installations. Using previously felled trees, one that was wind blown and a few other natural materials found on site in addition to steel and stone, the artist creates dynamic arches that mimic what it looks like when a tree falls.
Visitors to the free Pendle trail will encounter these and other organic installations during their walk. Sarah McDade designed 10 ceramic plaques representing each of the condemned witches, Steve Blaylock added bats, an owl and a spider made of stainless steel and master wood carver Martyn Bednarczuk fashioned a large ‘Witch finder General’ out of solid oak. If you fancy a visit, Arts Map has the details.
