Horizon Line Chamber, a handmade stone oratory on the shoreline at Sunderland Point, is one of a series of Chamber works by the artist Chris Drury. It’s a kindred structure to fourteen others, including a Sky Mountain Chamber in the Dolomites and a Star Chamber in Nashville, Tennessee – but equally an entirely unique construction. Made from stone reclaimed from the site, excavated from a former port settlement, Morecambe Bay’s Horizon Line Chamber was made by master craftsman and dry stone waller, Andrew Mason. This is part of Drury’s approach to every chamber in the series: each one responds specifically to its location, using materials and skills from the local area.
