The Brief: Design a temporary live/work structure within the New Forest which will accommodate an artist, Stephen Turner, in residence for a period of one year. The Aim: To study the littoral - the elusive watery edge of the river between high and low water. The coastal marshland of the New Forest is under constant threat from global warming and erosion. The Result: 'The Egg' is a collaborative project between PAD, Artsway, SCA+D and Stephen Turner. Located on the Exbury side of the Beaulieu River this floating wooden pod structure will be located on a pile and will move up and down with the tide. Built by local craftsmen using age-old boat building techniques, The Egg, will house a bed, desk, small stove and wet room, sufficient to allow Stephen to exist in a basic fashion. A life link and webcam will enable virtual visitors to follow Stephen's journey and to engage throughout. The Egg was submitted for Planning August 2011.
