Holgate Moor Doorstep Green

Holgate Moor Doorstep Green

Artists Lee and Jill Brewster worked with the local community to develop an artwork for the newly designed Holgate Moor Doorstop Green, which included the development of a new play area and sensory garden.

'Pathways' features five uprights made from European Oak, which vary in height from 1m to 2.5m, creating a contemporary entrance to the park. Each upright is carved with imagery showing the pathways through the different environments in and around the housing estate. This imagery was developed with young people and residents, following on from education workshops and consultation undertaken by the artists.
