Hanging Fire by Cornelia Parker

Highlight • Forest

Cornelia Parker 1988
Locally smelted iron ore has been
formed into rings of flames high
up in the trees. A poetic work that
implies the crowning of the trees
in this once royal forest.

Gathering Art Installation

Highlight • Structure

Gathering’, is an interactive and colourful artwork that encourages physical engagement from visitors who encounter it. Created by artist Julian Wild, the sculpture consists of 12 coloured metal vertical forms grouped together in a clearing to represent natural structures found in the woodland, recalling shoots growing out of the ground. Joined to these structures are several mirror-polished stainless-steel elements that resemble the shape of woodland fungi.

Julian worked with local school children at Heart of the Forest School, and included their ideas for incorporating tactile touch points, reflective surfaces and colours into the final piece. Alongside the smooth surfaces of the fungi, texture panels are hidden on some of the sculptures for people to find, which enhances the experience of the artwork for visually impaired visitors.
