Nayoung Jeong, who is a Korean artist who has recently moved to the UK from the States. She will create a shelter constructed with natural materials found at Riverhill.
Claire Mc Dermott’s background is in botanical sculpture and illustration. She will create an installation of white and copper ‘bracts’ that will dangle amongst the trees above the path so that the artwork takes on the essence of nature and becomes part of the environment.
Nathan Murphy, who is an upcoming young artist will be using subtle linear steel structures to create an installation in the gardens that will also bring a note of geometry and colour to the gardens.
Tim Norris, is an experienced landscape sculptor, his work has been commissioned for sites worldwide including China, Europe and the USA. He will be making coppiced chestnut arch that will spiral dramatically over a footpath.
Lauren Wilson, an emerging artist whose piece will make a splash, a miniature swimming pool, this work will play with scale and reference the arc of a dive.
