V=B0+B1*D^B2+B3*D^B4*H^B5 - The mathematical formula is one that is used for working out the cubic volume of a tree that is still standing by measuring its height and girth and depending on the specific tree type. Using that as the basis for the work an entire Red Oak [recently killed by Gypsy Moth] was cut down and the whole tree from the largest sections to the smallest branches was cut into cubes and stacked as a solid block in its original location. The work is as much about the space left by the tree's absence in the forest canopy above as it is about the object itself. Located just 30 metres inside the last vestiges of wilderness and adjacent to the formal gardens, the location is a marginal area on the fringes of development.

Outfield -‘The play area shall be a minimum of 140 yards [128.01 metres] from boundary to boundary square of the pitch. The pitch shall be a minimum of 60 yards [54.86 metres] from one boundary square of the pitch. When this minimum distance is used the pitch has to be a minimum 80 yards [73.15 metres] from the opposite square boundary. The straight boundary at both ends of the pitch shall be a minimum of 60 yards [54.86 metres]. Distances shall be measured from the centre of the pitch to be used.’ICB Rules
This body of work is entitled ‘OUTFIELD’ a description of the outer boundaries of a sports field, but in this instance also a reference to a society that lives on the margins, with limited opportunity or access to all the things we take for granted in the west and with a traumatic past to come to terms with. To all of them I owe a big thank you.
