Paul & Laura Carey LG are part of this year’s exhibition at the Himalayan Garden & Sculpture Park in Grewelthorpe near Ripon North Yorkshire. 8 Apr to 2 Nov 2025
“What a great and exciting experience it is to be exhibiting our sculptures in this magnificent and beautiful countryside! The Sculpture in the Landscape Exhibition 2025 is an artistic treasure.”
The Carey’s are exhibiting two works:
The Angel of the Trench is a representation of the landscape of war, specifically representing the Trench Wars of World War 1. This sculpture explores the human emotions and mechanical destruction associated with the conflict of war. The anonymous shell-shocked soldier embodies the affect and the brutality that war inflicts on nameless men and women. The large ears symbolise wings, the fragmented shrapnel represents the destruction of landmass.
Ta Muid: Marsh People is a sculptural representation of the closeness and strong bonds that had to exist and were necessary to survive in such difficult terrain, a memorial to all Marsh People. Nationally here in Britain, the Bronze Age Fen Folk from East Anglia inhabited freshwater marshland, as to other Marsh People throughout Britain and indeed throughout the world. Internationally there were many civilizations that existed and thrived on marshlands, such as the Arab Marsh People and the early settlers of the Venetian marshes.
