FLOW. Triangular Lodge, Northamptonshire

A series of projections on the side of Sir Thomas Tresham's Catholic folly, Triangular Lodge. The building was officially used a s a warreners Lodge but was really an expression of Sir Thomas' belief in Catholicism.


These projections will be activated by different sensors so that Sir Thomas appears to do different things in response to the public's movement. The projection is planned for the the section of building below the lintel on the right hand side. The rest of the building will be illuminated internally and externally.

The 5 rotating pieces sited in the old Riding School show glimpses of ghostly activity. The images above and below the animated ghosts are patterns derived from the wallpaper in the house at Calke Abbey. The heraldic shields are taken from the family archives.

Calke Abbey zoetrope inspired pieces

5 zoetrope inspire pieces rotating at 1.5 rpm. Horse based imagery as the pieces are sited in Calke Abbey's old Riding School.

Thanks to the staff at Calke Abbey, Michael Fairfax, Helen Merrin and Richard Burton for their help.

The text is taken from Sir George Calke's journal whilst living at Calke. His use of language is beautiful.
