The underlying theme for the panels is centred on the basic elements of light, water, earth and air. Because of their cyclical nature it is intended that this suggests a sense of constancy, renewal and reassurance. These four chapters continue in sequence throughout the length of the murals and have their own identifiable base colour. Content is based on flora, fauna and aspects of the natural world associated with each element. David Bennett spent his childhood in the Woodford Valley, five miles north of Salisbury. In 1996, after a career in teaching, he decided to become a freelance illustrator. His versatility lends itself to a wide variety of work that encompasses: logo design, murals, caricatures and book illustrations. His portfolio includes logos for the Larmer Tree Festival and National Federation of Zoological Gardens and archaeological reconstructions for the National Trust stone circles at Avebury and Castlerigg (Cumbria).
