At the heart of the site, the Core Countryside Park offers a significant opportunity to shape a new public space. The selected artist will be commissioned to undertake a short residency and to develop a permanent, site-specific work for a prominent landscaped mound with a spiral path, designed as a viewing point and gathering space within meadow and parkland.

Through a short residency, you will collaborate with the client and design team to create an integrated, enduring artwork that responds to the landscape, enhances the visitor experience, and reflects a strong, craft-led approach.

Commission budget: £31,000 (inclusive of design, fabrication, and installation)
