Muamba Posy, 2025 at Wild Uplands

Installation views at Penistone Hill Country Park, Haworth, UK

Muamba Posy is a series of interactive sculptures that reflect on the ever changing cycles of nature of Penistone Hill, where life has adapted and transformed over time. Each sculpture invites us to explore the connections between sculpture, the human body and the natural world.

Inspired by Penistone Hill landscape's long distant past - some 300 millions year ago, during the Carboniferous period, when the area enjoyed a tropical and hot climate and the plants were gigantic and lush.

The sculptures evoke the oversize plants and vibrant wildlife that once thrived there, also taking inspiration from plants and creatures that define Penistone Hill landscape's today. The metallic shades of the sculptures are a nod to the metal-loving plants that thrive in the area's mineral-rich soil, an important part of life on the hill.
