Between winter solstice 2021 and 2022, I spent a year in this field, with Boscawen Ros (east). I was shooting a film which became A Year In A Field (Bosena films 2022). The film is a reflection on where we are now, set against a back story of who we might have been. I’ve spent many hours with this beautiful monolith at all times of the day, over many years. Each angle it is viewed from, each weather type, each crop that surrounds it and each season it stands there, this little visited stone continues to surprise. Boscawen Ros means the place of the elder on the Heath. This year (2024) the farmer has put the entire field down to gorgeous wildflowers.

Fantastic stuff, what a great thing to do. I've only visited this stone when the field has been ploughed, would love to see it amongst wild flowers.
I must get back there soon!
