History
Neville Gabie was born in Johannesburg, South Africa, in 1959. He was the Lead Artist for the Year of the Artist projects, Forest of Dean Sculpture Trail 2000 - 2001. This project resulted from a Year of the Artists residency undertaken by Neville Gabie in the autumn 2000 and spring/ summer of 2001. It was realised with the financial assistance of South West Arts, the Forestry Commission and Arnolfini Collection Trust and the co-ordination by Bruce Allan and Samantha Wilkinson. The project was built upon a permanent work which sees the volume of a tree represented in a variety of states – as a permanent installation in the forest – alongside four event based pieces that were documented and presented in printed form

The tower block, Kenley Close was one such building
