Packwood Follies are three new outdoor commissions, InsideOutHouse, Embedded and Hive for National Trust Packwood House, Warwickshire funded by Cadburys Foundation and Trust New Art. Commissioned by Lucy Reid Packwood Follies are a contemporary re interpretation of the original Follies built by the last inhabitant of Packwood House Graham Baron Ash which once stood in the grounds. My intention was to highlight the history of Packwood and draw out the specifics of the site and story of Baron Ash’s renovation of the mansion house in the 1900’s.
Grateful thanks to JPA Art Services for the build of this project.
A further series of InsideOutHouse’s were subsequently commissioned for The Lost Gardens of Manchester at Manchester Art Gallery, by Kate Jessona and Natasha Howes and for Barnaby festival Macclesfield.
