Erwin Wurm's work reimagines everyday objects by giving them human characteristics. In Big Mutter he takes a cosy winter essential - the hot water bottle - and gives it human feet. Standing at the top of the Bothy lawn, the sculpture seems to be looking out and admiring the landscape.

Kimsooja’s elegant tower creates an impression from all perspectives – particularly when the sun beats down on it.
