About Tom Frost: The Wild Collection

South Wales-based illustrator Tom Frost took inspiration from YSP’s historic landscape and varied wildlife to create new work including limited edition screen prints, ceramics and homeware.


The Wild Collection highlighted the joy of getting out into nature, studying it, and collecting specimens to keep, enjoy and preserve. The Garden Gallery exhibition transported visitors to a biology classroom, or a naturalist’s study, with works such as old school charts, matchboxes containing foraged finds, collector’s cards and stamps.

Inspired by the Park’s infamous sheep, Frost created the limited edition screen-print Ram Brand, exclusively for YSP.

Yorkshire is blessed with an abundance of wildlife, but chances are you’ve not seen a large puffin nesting on our green hills before. This, however, was Tom Frost’s vision, so his latest commissioned project seeks to immerse you in nature

    Serge Spitzer: Untitled

    The sculpture creates, encloses and protects its own interior, which can be glimpsed through the spaces held open by rubber pads. Spitzer chose to reflect upon the character and history of the location for his sculpture and to encourage active looking and questioning. It is not immediately clear if the beam emerges from, or supports, the quarry face. When seen from different angles, the sculpture creates different senses of stability and balance, of open and closed spaces.
