The installation’s large organic forms and vivid colours were inspired by the area’s ever changing cycles of nature, where life has continuously adapted over time.<\/p>\n

In a statement, the park said: “Around 300 million years ago, in the Carboniferous period, Penistone Hill was part of a lush tropical forest with a climate similar to today’s Amazon.<\/p>\n

“The sculptures draw on the flora and fauna of that ancient ecosystem while also reflecting the contemporary landscape, echoing indigenous plants such as heather and bilberry.”<\/p>\n

The work reflects da Silva’s own identity as a Brazilian living in the UK, and the title is a combination of Brazilian Portuguese and English words, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Muamba is a slang term for smuggling goods across borders and posy a small bouquet of flowers.<\/p>\n

“I see the sculptures as a space for people to gather, to pause and connect with the nature around them. I’d like visitors to leave with a sense of calm, connection, but also joy,” da Silva said.<\/p>\n

Commenting on the new works, YSP’s head of programmes Dr Alex Hodby said: “Da Silva animates the landscape with vibrant reflections on time, ecology, and identity.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The installation’s large organic forms and vivid colours were inspired by the area’s ever changing cycles of nature,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":373169,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[6225,6485,6486,1120,96,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-373168","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-arts-and-design","8":"tag-arts","9":"tag-arts-and-design","10":"tag-artsanddesign","11":"tag-design","12":"tag-entertainment","13":"tag-uk","14":"tag-united-kingdom","15":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/373168","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=373168"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/373168\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/373169"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=373168"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=373168"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=373168"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
