A special triptych accompanying the Symphony for the Mountains exhibition has been unveiled as part of the special Living Art show at the Kendal Mountain Festivals.

The triptych features a selection of images from the Symphony for the Mountain  and words from Living Art founder Si Homfray, together with those of prominent world figures.

This piece was produced to illustrate the depths of support given to our project the Symphony for the Mountains and is a snapshop of the project to date.

The overall piece measures 3600mm x 900mm, comprising three frames at 1200mm x 900mm, made of canvas wrapped to 45mm deep solid wood stretcher design frame

Ultimately this project will become an interactive audio visual work for the purposes of education and touring.

The tritych will be auctioned off in Spring 2008 with proceeds going to Community Action Nepal.

Finally - we have created the start of the new professionals area - the first thing to do was to put all the professional artists together who have been so supportive of Living Art all on one page. What a diverse and wonderful collection it is. Listed here are so many lifetimes of talent... we are so grateful, without their kind and generous support, images and patience  Living Art wouldn't have got off the ground.

Thankyou most excellent people.

On September 12th - Living Art and Si Homfray successfully managed to get 1200 aerial photographs in the bag for the forthcoming work - Heath and Heaven - Part ii - The Lake District today.

An excitable and somewhat windswept Mr Homfray was reported to utter the now infamous verbal expletive - 'Yee-Ha' no less than 1200 times while maintaining a somewhat broad grin on his face as they flew the entire length of this great National Park no less than 4 times to achieve their photographic goal.

Enormous thanks and gratitude go out to Mr Jeremy Greaves - pilot and main man at Alpha Helicopters here in Sheffield and Mr Mike Fallon - co pilot and navigator who went to a great deal of trouble to make this precariously weather dependent day happen, drove fuel to the southern end of Windermere for refuelling overnight and ultimately delivered the goods. Thanks.

On the 19th September - Living Art was honoured to be invited to the National Parks Conference in Buxton, today the 19th September 2007. Attending this prestigious conference was a representative of every National Park in England, Scotland and Wales as well as a considerable representation from a great many other environmental and heritage groups. Heath and Heaven part i - The Peak District was on display in all its glory spanning the entire length of one of the great rooms at the Palace Hotel. Helen and Si were impressed by the sheer depth of care and professionalism on display from such a wealth of individuals who are in charge of enormous areas of this Islands precious land. Great people - a huge agenda for the future.
