Rankin talking about the scale of objects and their relationship to the scale of the surrounding landscapes, and the ‘illusions’ these things can create. Rankin with Nuttgens, explaining some of these illusions, including a tree that died of Dutch elm disease but was found to have a remarkable root system which has been preserved as part of a sculpture. Nuttgens suggests that the Park is an enormous folly, full of ideas and invention, but incorporates all the features of an English landscape: it incorporates things to walk through, to touch, to smell, to hear, etc. It therefore works for everyone.
