Welcome to Art in the Park,
brought to you by The Friends of Cannizaro Park
Our charity works alongside Merton Council to restore
Cannizaro Park, and also to enable visitors to engage with this
beautiful Grade II* listed landscape.
Art has long been part of Cannizaro’s history and our new Art in the Park festival
re-establishes that link. We have a fabulous array of local artists teaching and
exhibiting and all kinds of art activities on offer as well as an incredible community
sculpture! So whether you’re young or old, an observer or a participant, there’s
lots to see and do all around Cannizaro Park.
Thanks to our sponsors, all activities except classes are free. If you are able to
make a donation to the Friends, this will go to 2022 restoration work in the park.
We hope you have a wonderful time at Art in the Park.
Catherine Nelson
Chair of The Friends of Cannizaro Park

It’s hard to believe that this project started with a casual conversation during
a lockdown walk through Cannizaro Park back in January this year. Since then,
our team of artist-organisers has grown and, with the support and practical
help of The Friends of Cannizaro Park and all our sponsors and partners, we
are delighted to bring you the first Cannizaro Art in the Park. We hope you
enjoy the event we’ve put together: discover a thought-provoking piece on
the sculpture trail, find something you love in the art fair, or even feel inspired
to have a go at creating something yourself!

1    Viking Community Sculpture
      Designed by Tim Norris
Come and help sculptor Tim Norris
make a natural sculpture that will
stay on display in the park.
This sculpture is a tribute to the Plant
Hunters of Cannizaro Park and is inspired
by the wonderful array of exotic plants,
seed forms, and developing buds that
grow on their various plants, in particular
the flower buds of the Magnolia and the
enchanting opening in the hollow oak
tree, along the Maple Avenue.
At the heart of the sculpture is a carved
oak sphere representing the central
energy cell within all living things. The
sphere is enclosed by an orb of woven
willow, with an opening, allowing viewers
to peer into the centre. The orb will be
shrouded by a final layer of hazel coppice.

3    Outdoor Art Fair
      in collaboration with Merton Arts Festival
Stroll along to the Italian Gardens
to discover an art fair filled with
paintings, ceramics, prints and
jewellery – it’s a real celebration of
local artistic talent, showcasing the
work of over 50 artists.
We are delighted to be collaborating
with the Merton Arts Festival to bring
artists out of their studios and into
the lovely shared outdoor space at
Cannizaro Park, a change from their
usual artists-at-home trail.
The artists from the ACAVA Cannizaro
Studios will also be joining us and
bringing their work from the pottery
shed studios, just the other side of the
pink Italian Garden wall.
Entry is free, so do come along to
browse, chat to the makers and perhaps
even purchase an original piece of art.
You can find a complete directory of all
the artists exhibiting at Art in the Park
further on in this booklet.

My work alternates between ceramics and
painting, which relate in not necessarily
obvious ways, but both reflecting my interest
and preoccupation with our relationship to
the natural world, both seen and unseen.
My ceramic work echoes elements in nature
in a strongly tactile way. My most recent
series is working with the sense of the
earth as a living body, and how this can be
portrayed.
My paintings tend to respond more to
the unseen, the group that I am currently
working on being visual representations of
what I term ‘etheric guardians’.

One of my earliest memories is of playing in
my father’s workshop, aged about five, and
using offcuts of wood, sawdust and glue to
make little houses.When staying with my
grandfather I made constructions out of
dominoes.
At art shcool I started to respond to abstract
forms, which has always continued in my
constructions, but now I am really interested in
how my unconscious percolates into abstract
form.
Inspiration comes to me at moments when I
am least expecting it, and I often find myself
caught unawares. In antithesis to normal design
practice, I often discover the meaning of what
I have made after the structure is complete.

After working primarily with seascapes, oceans,
waves and skies, my work has taken a turned in
a new direction. My latest series reflects new
beginnings, bright mornings, changes, emerging and
transforming. These paintings are loosely figurative,
but becoming more abstract. This work feels so
personal, so autobiographical and proving to be
challenging yet somehow so simple. I have travelled
and lived very far and seen so much in my life,
finally I’ve found a way to begin to communicate
and share. My paintings are bright and colourful,
and very often, still about the sea. We are an island
nation, something I find inescapable and wonderful.
I am working primarily as a painter, but also am a
photographer and occasional printmaker.

My work is predominantly about our human
connection: to each other, ourselves and

our DNA, fingerprints and irises, as well as
having different social, cultural and personal

seek to combine the scientific with the
spiritual. Influenced by Carl Jung’s theory of
a collective unconscious and the astronomer
Carl Sagan who urged us to “deal more
kindly with one another”, I aim to portray
the importance of our shared humanity.

Remembrance, reflection, curation is at the
centre of my practice. I seek to evoke memory
and remembrance by collating new visual
tapestries with a selective mix of imagery and a
range of repeating constructs. Striking balance
between layers of emotionally charged moments
and the automated remixing process, filling our
gaps in time and memory. Working with process
driven, multidisciplinary techniques, crossing
drawing, language, painting, print and woodwork,
echoing experience through surface, texture and
marks. Interweaving recollections form a mise-
en-scene exposing the instability of memory
recall and image association.

As a jewellery designer and maker of small

1990s I began a career as a singer in a political rap
rock band. Touring gave me a unique perspective
on the world. We played to audiences in many
countries and with a hunger for new experiences
came the chance to absorb other ideas and visual
information. The process is to capture narrative
in objects and use stories or memories to craft
into things that can be worn and used. Mostly I
enamel silver and gold and I embellish my work
with coloured gemstones and patinas but I also
experiment with copper, bronze, concrete, wood,
fabric and found objects.

From her early youth, Imada’s favoured subjects

I found my passion in art during my youth and
started practising pottery making in London
from 2011. Inspired by The Great Pottery Throw
Down, I participated in the second season, and
teaching and making pottery became my career
since. Over the years, pottery teaches me more
than the techniques and understanding of beauty,
it also teaches me to discover the different
aspects of living, the variability and consistency
during the process, and the appreciation of
imperfection. My works are largely inspired by
the energy between nature and humans, made
with a combination of wheel throwing and hand
building techniques.
