Graffiti meets nature in Wanstead Park pump house transformation

An artist has transformed the pump house in Wanstead Park – located between the Ornamental Water and the River Roding – with a piece entitled What We Leave Behind.

Inspired by a desire to give back to a much-loved space, the work unifies old markings and graffiti with patterns inspired by the park’s natural features, such as rippling water and tree woodgrain.

“It was interesting to engage with visitors as I worked and explain my idea of wanting to meaningfully improve this spot in the park,” said film and TV artist Alex Glenn.
