In 2015 Pelham primary School expanded to accommodate a growing number of students. This meant losing the familiar Weeping Willow Tree that had been central to the school grounds for over 50 years.
Lee was delighted to be asked to create a special artwork for the new entrance, commemorating the beautiful species and one of Lee’s favourite trees. Crafted from thousands of segments of branches, from the delicate stems that traced the playground floor to the great bows and twisted forms that provided shelter to local wildlife, a timber mosaic was created to honour the long life of Pelham Primary School’s Willow Tree.
