You are here: Chester > Chester Designed by Nature: Spring Blooms > Azirical
Set within historic Grosvenor Park, The Arizical is a contemplation space inspired by organic networks, such as those of fungi mycelium, plant roots and synapses. The apparently chaotic directions that these mysterious networks create when they form themselves are efficient systems of patterns and pathways and become a labyrinth here that visitors can journey through.
Recipient of the 2021 Yorkshire Sculpture Park Graduate Award, artist Jessica Rost is a sculptor and a performance artist interested in ecology, animality and environmental issues. Rost’s work invites us to question how people can have less impact on the planet and live more harmoniously with nature.
