Formed by Bill Mitchell in 2005, WildWorks has a reputation for distinctive site specific work, not just in the Company’s home county of Cornwall, but in diverse locations around the world.
The Archive contains extensive workbooks from key WildWorks personnel that document the fascinating artistic processes that influence their work, along with press and promotional material, photographs, reviews and evaluation reports relating to the full range of Wildworks productions.
