Sculpture Garden Delights

Visitors to the Farleys Sculpture Garden will see a collection of works by contemporary guest sculptors, including Julian Wild, Nicola Acaster, and Sioban Coppinger, alongside the permanent collection chosen by Lee Miller and Roland Penrose.

What inspired the guest sculptors to create their works? Julian Wild, for example, is known for his geometric, playful sculptures in polished steel and strong colour, which draw on a palette from the built environment. His later Crush sculptures show I-beams crushing polished stainless steel, suggesting subjugation and vulnerability.

Who are the people behind the garden? The Farleys Sculpture Garden features a collection of works chosen by Lee Miller and Roland Penrose, and the current guest sculptors include a range of talented artists. Julian Wild, one of the guest sculptors, was born in 1973 in Birmingham and lives and works in London and Sussex, and has had a distinguished career, including working as an assistant to Damian Hirst and being Vice-president of the Royal Society of Sculptors.
