A retired teacher filled a 310-acre property with monoliths that look like screaming heads
the quiet country roads and dense greenery of cottage country, sits an enormous, macabre castle surrounded by monoliths that look like screaming heads.
Camani mail-ordered a few books on working with concrete and, while updating the home’s interior and fixtures, he created concrete structures inspired by druids and Celtic culture. He’d been born north of Southampton, near Stonehenge, and was inspired by the famous megaliths. . Camani had five weeks’ notice for the interview, and in that time, he built a concrete monolith about 20 feet away from the home—a “screaming claw” that looked like a shark’s fin with an open mouth and two eyes. He soon decided there ought to be more claws to join the first. Eventually, he’d built more than 100 “screaming” monoliths in the forms of heads and trees. “The idea is that there are threats outside the wall of the house,” he says. Each monolith weighs about 16 tonnes.
