Images from the striking and beautiful Orpheus project by Kim Wilkie at Boughton House, Northamptonshire. The massive earthwork sinks deep into the ground, with a gently sloping ramp spiralling into the ground towards a reflecting pool. The effect is very impressive, the visitor sees only the sky and there is a profound sense of calm. The project sits comfortably amongst the historical earthworks, lakes and avenues of the estate.
