HIDEOUT-RETREAT / BOTTLE-CHAPEL with Sam Hallett
May – July 2022
Artist Sam Hallett took on his largest, and most ambitious project exploring moments of reflection.
During his time, Sam Hallett worked around the back of St Anne’s House building his clay structure, an interactive space to explore the concept of retreat.
The large-scale work was an impressive sculpture that was built for a duration of time through heat and rain; the artist designed a bottle-chapel for groups and individuals to sit, sing, and meditate within for a moment of reflection.
Opening the doors in July, Sam Hallett hosted an open event for visitors to hear him speak first hand about the work, and for a chance to ask questions, hear about his journey and interact with artwork.
