Zara Wood at Yorkshire Sculpture Park

The Duchess by Zara Wood

Brighton-based illustrator Zara Wood – aka Woody – will bring her enchanting characters and imagined world to Yorkshire Sculpture Park with Mirror Mime, an exhibition featuring 20 new works from 11 November 2010 to 27 February 2011. YSP’s stunning landscape, designed over 200 years ago as a private pleasure ground, has provided Zara’s inspiration for Mirror Mime, infused with Renaissance imagery and 1920s style to depict a beguiling world where the boundaries blur between the imagined and the real. Mirror Mime will showcase new limited editions and originals including Little Treasure pieces, that will be for sale. Zara’s distinctive creations will also adorn the shop and 20-metre concourse windows, welcoming visitors with imagined scenes designed exclusively for YSP as her creatures and characters appear to travel from distant lands to a decadent Gatsby-esque party. Mirror Mime-inspired products will be available in the YSP shop, including an exclusive limited edition print and Christmas card.
