Wonderful to see the amazing ‘Giant’ community art project I’ve been involved with come to fruition today. It was unveiled next to the Cerne Abbas giant. It has made the BBC news and the national press. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It was lovely to see ‘A Date with the Two Cerne Giants’ on the @oxbowbooks.bsky.social stand at #IMC2025. Chapter 13 is mine! And as always the greatest of thanks to @richardosgood.bsky.social for letting me include his famous Cerne Giant image in my chapter.

Following my work on the Cerne Giant project, it’s the greatest pleasure to be involved with this community art project about creating a new giant for the Dorset National Landscape. To be revealed in September. @beccagill.bsky.social and Radical Ritual.
