Hatch Farm public art
Hatch Farm residential development in West End.
Funded by Developer’s Contributions, the Council is commissioning public art for the Hatch Farm residential development in West End.
This collaborative art project with local residents of The Willows, with the aim to shape the Hatch Farm open space with functional art named, 'The Barrows'. It will serve as a meeting place with sculpted earthworks and the use of eco-resin, a sustainable material.
Drawing inspiration from historical barrows, including a nearby bowl barrow that is located off Moorgreen Road, along with the artworks of Charles Jencks, this artwork will take shape as a welcoming communal area for all to enjoy.
Let’s meet the team…
