Marialuisa Tadei's enchanting sculptures sit somewhere between reality and dreams. Using mosaic with different shades of glass, the artist turns forms from nature into something other-worldly. Her octopus is colourful and larger than life. It seems to belong in fantasy rather than reality.

With a rabbit's ears and a human's crying face, Usagi Kannon II is a symbol of mourning for our planet. Leiko Ikemura combines inspirations from Europe and Japan. 'Usagi' is rabbit in Japanese, while Kannon is the Buddhist goddess of mercy. The creature's skirt nods to Christian images of people taking shelter under the Virgin Mary’s cloak.

Mixing fairy tales, dreams and mythology, Sophie Ryder creates mysterious half-human, half-animal hybrids. Ryder calls this character the Lady Hare and imagines her as a companion for the Minotaur. She has a female body and the head of a hare, a mystical creature in folklore.

Horses in art often appear in relation to war, to represent power and victory. As an art student, the first sculpture William Turnbull made was a horse’s head. He often returned to the animal over the years. In Large Horse he simplified the horse to its basic form, bringing to mind movement more than power.

Katrina Palmer's installation symbolises the freedoms afforded to many women in the First World War. It's inspired by the all-female First Aid Nursing Yeomanry (FANY), who rescued wounded men on the battlefields. At intervals throughout the year, the work is activated by a horse and rider, who make the jump whilst riding through the country park.
