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

    Jaume Plensa: Wilsis

    Wilsis appears to be deep in thought or dreaming. Her eyes are closed and she is inward-looking and self-contained, remote from the present moment and the beauty of the surrounding scenery. Although monumental in size at over 7 metres high, this sculpture depicts a normal girl, rather than immortalising a traditionally extraordinary or powerful person.

    Damien Hirst: The Martyr – Saint Bartholomew

    The Martyr – Saint Bartholomew depicts the martyred saint who was one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus. In Hirst’s version he holds scissors and a scalpel to suggest that his torture is self-inflicted.
  4. A large, rusted metal sculpture stands in a grassy area, featuring a pattern of circular cut-outs arranged in a diagonal line. Surrounding the sculpture are bare trees and a clear blue sky, creating a serene outdoor setting.
