Sycamore Gap Tree Prints Honor Legacy in New Exhibition

Artworks by Shona Branigan capture the intricate details of the felled tree, allowing public interaction and reflection.

Five prints created from the trunk of the Sycamore Gap tree are on display at four locations along Hadrian's Wall.
One print, 'Access,' allows visitors to feel the tree rings through a tactile, glass-free presentation.
The National Trust commissioned the prints to preserve the memory of the tree, which was illegally felled last September.
The exhibition will run until September 1, before all prints are displayed together at The Queen’s Hall, Hexham.
Two men accused of causing the tree's damage are set to stand trial in December.
