Images show a screenshot of footage created by Liane Mah and Dan Faberoff in 2023 and images of the site and their footage through the portal during during visits by Rachel Henson in Autumn 2025.
A lookout post for cuckoos, its bark rubbed smooth by ponies,
this lone Dartmoor hawthorn grows at the top of a watercourse once streamed for tin. Audiences bear witness to the tree’s human and more-than-human dalliances against the weather of their arrival through small portals set into the landscape around the tree.
The experience is inspired by Dan Faberoff’s footage of dancer Liane Mah’s encounter with the tree in 2023. The final piece will include this footage combined with film of animals, birds and weather, shot by Rachel Henson over recent summers.
