Using local and found materials, the artists crafted each installation for the audience to move through, investigate and contribute to; culminating in a resolution event with music, performance and fire transforming the installation into an intimate celebration.

Wayfaring, a major new landscape art commission by And Now:, was at the heart of the ambition three-year landscape art project Life Cycles and Landscapes that ran from 2016-2019.  The project was partnership between Activate, producers of the Inside Out Dorset festival, artists And Now: and Landscapes for Life, the National Association for Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, 

Wayfaring took place in four locations in 2018: Wells in Norfolk as part of the Norfolk and Norwich Festival, Basildon Park in Berkshire in the Thames Valley in partnership with the National Trust, the Newbury Corn Exchange and 101 Outdoor Arts Creation Space, Maiden Castle in Dorset, as part of Activate’s Inside Out Dorset festival; plus the Dutch island of Terschelling, as part of the Oerol festival. 

Using local materials and a travelling lightweight toolkit the artists spent a week on site creating installations that audiences could move through, investigate and contribute to. On the final evening, fire, music and performance transformed the installations with celebrations for everybody there to come together, their paths crossing at that one time at that one place.

'…we worked to create environments and experiences where artists and audiences could experience and connect together with the places where we all found ourselves… a compassionate understanding that people and all living things move at different speeds and ever have done.'  And Now: Mandy Dike and Ben Rigby
