ActionSpace artist Ian Wornast’s permanent public commission for the new Unilever Campus in Kingston, installed as part of the Kingston 2025 festival, continues to be a vivid landmark celebrating the local area.

The artwork was featured in a related exhibition at Stanley Picker Gallery, Kingston University London, which ran from 19 June to 19 July 2025. The exhibition showcased the full-size drawing alongside preparatory works documenting Ian’s creative process and engagement with Kingston’s landscape, history, and community.

The public commission was made by Cube Real Estate following a selection process involving a local community panel and the project development team. The architects for the project are Darling Associates.

This permanent commission follows Ian’s previous public artworks, including The Flags of Boscombe (2023), Art on the Underground Nine Elms Poster (2022) and My Neighbourhood in Nine Elms (2022) commissioned by Wandsworth Council.
