​

To be used in the aid of scrying. A technology of an alternative form of romanticism. A fictioning and inversion of the Bowder Stone and a pact or uncanny union with the Shap Stone Avenue, the Skiddaw Musical Stones, Hanging Rock and others.

​

The Err features a working sauna with urns made by Tom Philipson and was designed to be a space to facilitate moving image, sound and performance at Lawson Park.
