"The Estate" by Richard Woods @ Houghton Hall

  • Stephen Tadiwanashe Gombakomba

I had the opportunity to help install 'The Estate' by Richard Woods at Houghton Hall alongside other MA students from Norwich University of the Arts. The installation was 70,000 sq ft (6,503 sq m) "the size of a football pitch" and it was drawn out with black cotton fabric and secured with tent pegs. This was an exciting project by Richard Woods and we were given the opportunity to have a tour of the grounds from David Cholmondeley, 7th Marquess of Cholmondeley (who is the current resident of the home) and also had the company of sculptor Antony Gormley.

Woods said: "Estate is a conversation between two architectural styles. The simplistic cartoon graphic of Estate with the Palladian grandeur of Walpole's original.

"One that has taken a couple of hours to complete and one that has taken many generations."
