One year ago today, Her Majesty Queen Camilla
@theroyalfamily opened the Lovington Sculpture Meadow
@dulwichgallery in London.
I was delighted to be commissioned by Dulwich Picture Gallery to create an interactive public sculpture alongside fellow artists for the gardens.
Waking Matter II, 2025
Marble, steel
H403 x W150 x D120cm
“Artist Amy Stephens uses ‘surplus’ marble from the Carrara quarry in Italy – famous as the source for Michelangelo’s Renaissance sculptures. By walking around and under Waking Matter II, we can reflect on the potential of art to emerge out of natural materials.”
Dulwich Picture Gallery has seen a 60% increase in school visits in the last year so this is such an exciting time for public sculpture, community engagement and participation. Thank you to the Director
@jenartscott and Creative Producer
@alexmoorephoto for all your support.
The garden is designed by Land Architect Kim Wilkie.
