It's the unveiling event for my town marker sculpture in Worsbrough later today at 2pm-3pm. I hope some of you can make it. It's at the entrance to the TPT (near the Ship Inn pub). It features the wonderful Worsbrough poem by @imcmillan.bsky.social #publicart

Very hot outside, but cool inside. An enjoyable morning sketching some ideas for new sculptures. #drawing

It's been a busy time recently, with a lot of studio time spent exploring the theme of birds for a number of commissions. The journey from tabletop prototype to public sculpture is one of my favourite parts of the creative process. #PublicArt

Each time I walk past this sculpture I produced for Trans Pennine Trail at RSPB Old Moor I love how the sun projects the shape of the birds onto the corten steel. #publicart

ESTATE I’ve just updated my website, including Estate — a project that exists as both a book and exhibition. A journey through the homes that have shaped Britain’s working-class communities — places of identity, memory and lived experience. Take a look 👇 patrickmurphystudio.co.uk/portfolio/es...

I went to the launch of the Barnsley Seam last night and was really impressed. It’s a brilliant piece of new public realm work. The roses create a strong atmosphere, and the surrounding benches and layout of the space work really well together. Well done Barnsley Council. 1/2

Gold spills through the window, onto the sofa, seeping across the floor, climbing the chair. Atoms of dust caught in a shaft of light, shining like stars in an afternoon universe. Patrick Murphy #poetry #amwriting #UKpoetry

As a visual artist, I’m finding my feet when it comes to writing verse. But I like the challenging and find it rewarding. Here’s something I've been working on. Afternoon’s Universe Can you hear it, the blackbird’s song healing the street, heads lifting

Another wet day, it inspired me to write this: HELD IN PLACE #poetry

$A poem by Patrick Murphy 2026 Held in Place Mist and mizzle set the town in grey aspic, a suspension of people held in place, as if time itself has been poured and left to cool. Monet could have painted the puddles if he was from Doncaster, circles radiating in petrol-slick water, colours trembling under red brake lights, the dark, damp heaviness of a northern terrace, white light refracted on roof tiles, like plates set out for Sunday best. People move through it with hands pushed deep in pockets, shoulders up, heads down, trudging slowly, the town thickened around them, as though they’ve forgotten who they are, or why they set off.$

What a fun workshop yesterday in Worsbrough! Me and @imcmillan.bsky.social were gathering stories to help create an Art Trail, Town Sculpture and a town poem. Amazing how much people know – I never knew Alexander Pope’s mum was from Worsbrough! #Worsbrough #lovewhereyoulive

Continuous Line Bird was a single, unbroken line drawing I made without lifting pen from the paper. I’ve transformed the drawing into small, home-friendly sculptures, each installed on a solid base of oak, cedar, or walnut. Available from my website. patrickmurphystudio.co.uk/product/line/ #Art

A great morning with @imcmillan.bsky.social Walking through town afterwards, I took a photo of the disappearing town hall. It made me write this short poem. The Kind of Day A grey, wet, maudlin Friday. The town hall disappears, drifting in and out of being— like a Barnsley Brigadoon. 1/2
