‘You should come here one day’.
Thanks babe. We think so too.

The first two weeks of WINTER SCULPTURE PARK 2025 have flown by with such an amazing array of visitors. We’re closed Saturday 15 March for a bit of rest and to get our washing done. Back open on Sunday 16 March. We’ve also added some midweek dates in April for anyone who wants to explore outside of the weekend.

Bring your friends, bring your dogs (on leads), bring your picnics, bring your kids, bring your parents.

One rule; explore, get lost.

WINTER SCULPTURE PARK 2025 x Found and Chosen.

Eyes up, eyes peeled 👀🌱

Back in November we got in touch with Jane Housham aka. about the WINTER SCULPTURE PARK 2025 poster. We shared the descriptions of the sculptures that were set to take residence in the former Thamesmead driving range for the 4th edition of the PARK, and she set to work helping us create this poster.

Jane collects kipple; the discarded items of humanity, small relics of moments of pop-culture now past, traces of play now lost, and once much-wanted items from Argos catalogues left unloved. By selecting each item, Jane’s practice of collecting and curating highlights each thing individually. Giving each thing value and identity, echoed by the items she places together.

We met again in the new year, and Jane had selected a host of these items. Moments in time placed together to form an A3 collection of WINTER SCULPTURE PARK 2025. She brought a few along to pair up with their larger counterparts at The Opening Party, but the rest you’ll need to visit and match up for yourself.

Some say hoarding, we say anarchistic collecting.

Get a copy of the WINTER SCULPTURE PARK 2025 poster along with a copy of .room.gallery’s ‘No one’s watching, do something’ in fluro pink, and .lunch’s ‘A load of old balls’ based on a comment on News Shopper article about WINTER SCULPTURE PARK 2020 and well-suited for 2025. Head to the link in bio.

As women, feeling safe in public space is a difficult thing to achieve. Stepping over the threshold comes with an underlying fear; an inherited guttural warning passed down through generations.

Alegria Repila Smith’s Caryatid (Fallen) embodies this fear, it holds the ghost of women’s lived experiences, and solidifies the unyielding strength of their defiance. When she arrived at university in Leeds, Alegria was told: “Don’t walk across Woodhouse Moor at night.” Years earlier, I was given the same warning. A time apart yet a necessary rule unchanged.

This week, as we mark International Women’s Day and honour the memory of Sarah Everard, brutally murdered by a serving British police officer, we confront a truth that cannot be ignored: Government pledges to tackle violence against women and girls continue to fall short, leaving safety a privilege, not a right.

We stand with the importance of campaigns like , pushing for public spaces where women and girls can exist without fear. Because safety should not be a privilege.

We will not be warned away. We will not be forced inside. These streets belong to us.

Women, united, will never be defeated. 💪

WINTER SCULPTURE PARK 2025 is bringing eyes and art to the landscape. 🌱 Rewilding spaces. Rewilding audiences. Rewilding the arts.

If you’ve visited so far, thank you for awakening the PARK with us. If you missed The Opening Party, here’s the low down.

parked up the SET Van in the driving range bringing ambient beats all day in the sun.

flung himself across the grass attached to the building by a bungee with the mantra, try again, fail again, fail better. sent out secret instructions for us to follow as we watched how people respond to instructions, tiptoeing in Murmuration around the field. and led a dystopian procession through the space culminating in a moment of stillness and methodical placement. And closed the day with disco delirium covered in gunge.

Thanks to and for fuelling the party.

Welcome to WINTER SCULPTURE PARK 2025 🌱

The work you will see here is charged with ‘now’. It is there with relevance and it is burdened with necessity, although not always instantly recognisable.

WINTER SCULPTURE PARK 2025 requires you to enter and take part, to explore with inquisitiveness and to consider these works as they are shown, within and set-against the world.

This is a space of discovery. We only have one rule: explore and get lost.

Leah Hickey is an artist led by heartache; her anguish is embodied in the work she produces. The pain, memory and fleeting phrase of the performative femininity she presents is transcribed and made tactile in the permanence of stone and scripture.

Blending the truths of lived experience with English Romantic poetry and Christian and Druidic death ritual, Leah streams rhythmic verse that at once touches and negates the viewer as they feel mutually seen, beseeched and confronted by a voice unknown.

Richard Mackness works in dualities. Creating sculpture based on his observations of opposing theologies, ideals or qualities around him.

Synthetic vs. evolved.

Priceless vs. worthless.

This alternative way of seeing allows to notice unlikely patterns in the world. Spotting pairings throughout history, culture and society; between then and now, or here and there - antithetical comparisons that have more in common than we may first understand.

Join us on Saturday 1st March, for the WINTER SCULPTURE PARK Opening Party!

Poppy Whatmore addresses how power structures are established in the objects we encounter everyday. By reconfiguring typical scenes from our domestic lives, she confronts the shadows of patriarchal and societal power that shroud and form the things we view and use.

By placing day-to-day objects (the brick wall, the picket fence, the ladder) in new settings and compositions the learnt myth and messaging society has assigned them is adjusted.

Much like the WINTER SCULPTURE PARK, Poppy is demonstrating how an alternative context can help us interrogate what we’re being shown and why.

Our cultural institutions are often made by hands that feel unwelcome. And the craftsmanship of the unnamed maker is left unsaid.

Elliot Macdonald is shining a light on the unnamed maker through his use of everyday materials to create structures and moments that confront the grandiose, presenting an alternative by detaching the work from the pomp and power it’s used to evoke.

Well aligned with our ambitions, Elliot will be making new work for 2025’s show that explores this amongst the open landscape.

Marcus Orlandi steals from highbrow and lowbrow cultures, confronting each with each other. Flitting with the ease of a channel change between 1960’s conceptual performance art and WWE professional wrestling, Marcus sets new stakes for what is believed and what is true.

Through this practice he is exposing the influence and omnipotence of catchy slogans and hyperbolic tabloid headlines.
