## Description

As part of the October 2023 Queer Nature Festival we will commission the artist to create a large-scale suspended artwork in the Temperate House that will provide a visually arresting centrepiece for the festival\. The artwork will be inspired by his previous works 'The Spirits are laughing' and 'They Come from Fire' and will draw on his interest in overlooked narratives, while embracing the presence of historically marginalised identities
