I simply had to take a walk along Grisedale Beck yesterday,
below the imposing fells of Helvellyn and St Sunday Crag to see Steve Messam’s temporary
art installation “Paper Bridge”. What
was remarkable, besides the impressive construction itself, were the number of
happy families queuing in the drizzle to clamber up and pose for photos with
huge beaming smiles. The overwhelming sense of shared joy was palpable, this
simple project bringing happiness in a way that I'm sure the artist never
imagined. And, if one or two people
decide to explore the fells as a result, then that's a bonus!
