'Home'

Sculptural Habitiats for forests creatures large and small

Peter Hill installing 'High Rise Housing' along the understory Art & Nature Trail in Northcliffe as part of the 'Home: Sculptural habitats' project
Home: Sculptural Habitats, Understory Art & Nature Trail, Northcliffe, by Peter Hill, 2022

Northcliffe based artist, Peter Hill, worked with ten schools and many family groups across the Southern Forests & Valleys region to create a series of new sculptural installations for the Understory Art & Nature trail in Northcliffe.

The 'Home' project was a creative response to Climate Change. It encouraged individual and collective agency and encouraged a sense of hopefulness in the face of uncertainty around what the future brings.

Project launch - Sunday 24th July 2022
