The Avebury Enigma
by Ox Art (Annabel Pettigrew and Rob MacPherson)
The Avebury Enigma is a guided walk, audio collage and exploration of the sacred landscape at Avebury. What is it about Avebury that people find so enchanting? We walk, dowse, and record the stones and landscape, communing with the energy and pop culture mythologies to divine our obsession and response.
