This is based on a photograph I took at Calke Abbey of some storm-damaged sweet chestnuts. They were significant entities and these are a couple of limbs that had parted company with the trunks. Someone came along and tried to make a den but I think they ran out of suitable branches. I liked the contrasting angles of the sticks and branches and the shapes that they make.
