Features

A major sculpture and permanent soft play centre by Marvin Gaye Chetwynd for the Abbey Leisure Centre in Barking.

What to see

The Idol offers a two-storey-high climbing frame that takes the form of a towering, cage-like robotic figure with labyrinthine chambers, ramps and levels. Children are able to climb into the Idol’s head to look out of its two giant eyes. While colourful and cacophonous in its subject matter, the play area is a monochrome environment consisting entirely of black and white. It stands in bold contrast to the conventionally multi-coloured aesthetic of soft play areas.
