In the Chapel, discover Derbyshire-based Laura Ellen Bacon's exceptional immersive sculptural installation Into Being, created from natural materials. Weave your way through the building, to view a piece woven for the space in willow – a sustainable and warm material that Laura uses to create a surprising and compelling sensory experience. 

Into Being was created by Laura inside the Chapel over an 8-week installation, using carefully woven and sustainably sourced Somerset willow. The scent of this natural material fills the Chapel, creating a full sensory experience. The repetitive weaving process has created a dense, flowing structure which envelops visitors into it's folds as it climbs three meters up the gallery wall. Also on display are several smaller woven willow works, showcasing the versatility of the material and ways it can be used to make structural forms.
