Yorkshire Dales field of sheep reimagined by Paul Walsh / Foldhead.
"This piece is in part inspired by the memory of a long, lost walk through the hills and valleys of Mayerhofen, Austria, a few years ago.
"Having walked for hours through increasingly heavy falling snow we took what we hoped was a shortcut through a large field.
"After a few minutes traipsing through the snow I looked to my right and what appeared to be dozens of sheep very slowly and in what appeared to be perfect unison turned their heads to look at us as one. It felt quite surreal at the time."
