Spectra Schools Residency.
Collaborating with fellow artist Hannah Ayre, we were commissioned to design and deliver a major schools outreach project for Spectra Festival of Light in Aberdeen. The aim was to link art and design with numeracy and to link with the Scottish Curriculum for Excellence.
Parabola2.
Working with fellow artist educator Hannah Ayre, we were commissioned by arts-led production company Curated Place to build a series of large scale sculptures for two light festivals. The pieces were realised during a residency at Artwork Atelier studios, Manchester, with the generous help from volunteers. The work was shown at Spectra Festival of Light, Aberdeen and Enlighten Festival of Light & Sound, Bury. The pieces measure between 3m and 5m in diameter and are available for exhibition
Gatis Street Lantern Parade
I was commissioned to assist the award winning Gatis Community Space, to make parade lanterns for a night time celebration of their community. I worked with staff and people from the area to create pieces for the parade.
SHADOW PUPPETS.
Working with light and shadow offers great cross-curricular links. I collaborated with filmmaker Sian McFarlane to produce a series of short films to highlight the antisocial aspects of dropping litter
