Simon Patterson
The Wilfred Owen Forestry House
This publication was produced on the occasion of the inauguration in 2011 of La Maison Forestière Wilfred Owen, a work by Simon Patterson as part of the New Patrons programme.
The forest house in Ors (Nord) was the last night's home of the famous English poet and soldier Wilfred Owen. A group of Ors residents and Owen admirers wanted to pay tribute to him by commissioning a work from Simon Patterson.
