PRESS RELEASE

THE RIPPLES OF PEACE – THE VISUAL THAT CARRIES PEACE AND HOPE INTO THE HEARTS AND MINDS OF THE WORLD   

AN EXPLOSION OF  YELLOW AS 7500 DAFFODILLS BLOOM IN THE RIPPLES

“The powerful mythology and symbol of the Ripples of Peace located at Camelot Castle communicates deep into the hearts and minds of Americans.  Mythology has always been used by man to educate people in a preliterate society.  America is a visual society.  It responds to visuals.  It is powerful visuals that will help penetrate the bubble of ignorance that the whole world is currently subject to.”   John Mappin.

A huge sculpture at Camelot Castle, Tintagel is having a timely impact on global awareness.  Sculpted in 20 Tonnes of Granite Rock and carved into the natural landscape of the Cornish Headland at Tintagel, the “Ripples of Peace” has caught the imagination of ariel photographers, popstar’s, school children and international opinion leaders alike.

A few yards away from Tintagel Island, the mythological birthplace of King Arthur, “The Ripples of Peace” has been created at a time when its message has never been more needed.  As young children play in the grass lined ripples and the granite of the 500 meter sculpture,   RAF Jaguar Jets make low level passes overhead serving as a chilling reminder of the consequences of a failure to maintain peace.

Their booster jets fracture the solitude of a millennia. 

The tens of thousands of people that are set to visit and walk through this sculpture over the next few months are invited to understand and contact the real value of peace. 

The “Ripples of Peace” as a symbol and as a sculpture is intended both to be interactive and, uniquely, copied.  Plans for further sculptures are currently underway and are spreading across our world.  Children in schools across Cornwall and Britain have and are being invited to send in their representations of the Ripples of Peace and many Parents who’s children have been troubled by talk of War and Terrorism in recent months have found that encouraging their children to enter the Ripples of peace competition is immensely positive. Plans are a foot to re-produce the “Ripples of Peace” symbol in the Saudi Arabian Desert. 

Visitors are invited to walk round the sculpture, then to record their experiences or thoughts during the walk in writing seated at the Round Table at Camelot Castle.

The 7500 Daffodil bulbs planted in November explode into bloom this week.  Help us get this visual seen by as many people as possible.
