A 44-day journey culminating in a unique,ephemeral public artwork on LEIGH BEACH June18th from first light to high tide
 
An exciting contribution to Leigh Art Trail 2011, Joanna Hartle will be creating Camino, a 12m wide sand and cockleshell labyrinth – an artwork which, already in the making, will culminate on June 18th and in situ for only a matter of hours.


The piece draws inspiration from journeys - physical, spiritual and emotional which entwine our lives and the memories they bring.  
Last year’s Art Trail  saw Joanna create the highly successful and evocative piece ‘ghost’, a sight-specific piece in Leigh Library Gardens.  

This year’s work invites visitors to the Leigh Art Trail to gain stamps on their‘Camino Passport’ throughout the trail (available from participating Art
Trail venues).  Once, stamped your passport gives you entry to experience the Labyrinth.

This 44 day journey will conclude on the seashore on Leigh Beach  June 18th.  Starting at first light, the labyrinth will be lost to the tide by 3pm.
The work will continue it’s journey with the tide, to live as a legacy in people’s memories.
