Steven Wright's imaginative recreation of the Duke of Cannizzaro's diary, "Memoirs of a Regency Rake" (left), was a masterstroke. Displayed in a glass case beside the hotel, this brought the character to life both visually and through an autobiographical medium with two pages open to be read. No previous exhibit has used quite the same concept to link into Cannizaro's actual history.

Final year sculpture student Hannah Tucker (right) created her first performance based artwork, presenting humans ‘acting like animals’. They wore business suits but donned animal headdresses such as those of rams and stags.

Tamiko O’Brien, Pathway Leader in Sculpture at WSA, said: "We invited the curator Peter Fillingham because we knew he would bring his openness, insight and humour to the event. He has worked on numerous projects in France and Holland and has inspired the students to really think about what it is to make works for this very special location."

Some works felt out of place in the park, others questioned the way we use it. Ann Haycock's "Four Knitted Patchwork Blanket" saw her knitting herself on to a bench in the Keir Garden amid bright colours as she enjoyed some quality time with nature.

Christine Macallan's "Gift Shared" used the reflections of lovers of the park to create a tree adorned with thoughts and images (left). The tree she decorated was the magnolia planted by Wimbledon's Mayor in 1949 to mark the opening of Cannizaro Park to the public. It stands beside the Sunken Garden (right).
