We love to support artists and sculptors wherever we can, and are more than happy to support them by exhibiting artworks and sculptures here at the Ironworks.
Providing a platform to showcase their work to our visitors, we don’t charge artists to display their work, nor do we take any commission.
If you are an artist interested in exhibiting your work in our Sculpture Park, please enquire today, along with some photos and details of your work, to [email protected].

Originally born in Australia but now living in the UK, Mark wanted to pay homage to the Aboriginal people and peoples of the world that have suffered under colonial powers and that have been pushed from their birth right lands.
This monolithic sculpture aims to highlight the prejudice Indigenous people face through the theft of their land and devastation of sacred sites, and the disregard for Indigenous Land Rights.
It was commissioned by Joe Rush of Mutoid Waste Company for Glastonbury in 2009 and returned to the festival in 2022 for its 50th anniversary, and has been created from scrap metal from the automotive, oil and gas and agriculture industries, including a petrol tanker, a 1957 Bentley car and a Q4 military truck.
This sculpture was inspired by nature and its ability to recover in the face of worldwide adversity. We must recognise that we need to be one with nature, not working against it or destroying it, and the planet can heal itself if given the chance.
The sculpture highlights Indigenous Land Rights campaigns, and supports both The Articulation of Indigenous Peoples of Brazil, and The Wangan and Jagalingou First Nations. 20% of any sale or hire fee of the sculpture will be donated to these two campaigns.
