Wildflower of Avalon
The Park Stage, Glastonbury Festival
Wildflower of Avalon, 2024 is created entirely from reclaimed festival tents, salvaged by Camplight. Inspired by the delicate marsh pea flower of the Avalon Marshes, it magnifies the local flora and connects today’s festival grounds with the ancient bogs and seas that once shaped this landscape.
The sculpture’s form is engineered using carbon fibre popup tent rods and collapsible poles, held in high tension to create the curves of each petal. Straps, eyelets, and channels embedded in the tents themselves have been reimagined as petal details, celebrating the original material while transforming its purpose.
Emerging like a flower in early summer, Wildflower of Avalon has popped-up, pitched into the cove of Land’s End Bar at the Park - an emblem of renewal, creativity, and the delicate beauty that can grow from waste.
