Nature: Sensory is a project co-ordinated by artists Michelle Duxbury and Sam Metz. Nature: Sensory reimagines how we experience the environment. The show explores alternative sensory engagements with nature that are more than just visual, such as the tactile qualities of materials or the rhythm of movement.

Showing work created by disabled artists and those living with long-term health conditions, the exhibition offers fresh, unique interpretations of Wakefield’s green spaces that challenge traditional perceptions of landscape.

Featured Artists: Amelia Baron, Jessie Davies, Michelle Duxbury, Sam Metz, Helen Thomas
