A Sculpture That Sings

The Art of the Bell
A Sculpture that Sings is a unique book about church bells, bell-ringing and the place of the tradition in the English landscape and its communities. In 2017 the artist David Ward and the composer Orland Gough came together to work with a group of bell-ringers in rural Dorset and later at St Paul’s Cathedral in London.
A Sculpture that Sings is a unique book about church bells, bell-ringing and the place of the tradition in the English landscape and its communities. In 2017 the artist David Ward and the composer Orland Gough came together to work with a group of bell-ringers in rural Dorset and later at St Paul’s Cathedral in London. Together they created this extraordinary book; Orlando Gough’s words draw on the history, traditions and practice of bell-ringers around the world, while David Ward has created a beautiful piece of art, The Bell Folio, which includes photographs of the casting of bells. The book has been created in collaboration with Artconnexion, the Anglo-French cultural and social organisation.
