THIS IS ONE OF A SERIES OF SWTCHES AND LEVERS FOR THE PROJECT, POSITIONED ON AN EXPANSION JOINT CELEBRATING THE HERITAGE OF THE LOCATION WITH A STEAM POWERED MACHINE’S LEVER.
The project is being commissioned to enrich the new development and enhance the public space provided through the scheme. The focus for the artwork is to be the shared communal spaces and clear, legible routes through the development.
On a recent road trip through Italy I explored a series of ‘Unidentified Towers’. Taking inspiration from visiting the Seattle Space Needle last year I’ve endeavored to find architecture with similar hidden agendas.
AS PART OF THE ONGOING MILL ROAD CAMBRIDGE PROJECT, I HELD AN EVENT AT THE CAMBRIDGE MUSEUM OF TECHNOLOGY EVENT. EXPLORING TYPE AND FONT IN THE PRINT WORKSHOP AND PRINTING ONTO ORIGAMI SWITCHES WAS A GREAT WAY TO SHOWCASE THE CURRENT CONCEPT FOR THE PUBLIC ART PROJECT. More information to follow.

EXCITED TO WORK ON AN INSTALLATION FOR ‘THE END OF ROAD FESTIVAL 2019’ – AN XRAY MACHINE FROM ANOTHER WORLD IS TO BE MADE TO TRANSPORT MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC INTO THE SPIRITUAL WORLD OF EXTRA TERRESTRIAL BEINGS AND BEASTS.
The Institute for Animal Spirit Guides was developed for the Fling Festival and was very popular there for two years in a row. This time we would like to develop it further and incorporate making activities and a larger shadow screen. Both outings we were overwhelmed with the enthusiasm for the spirit guide test. What is interesting is that despite being obviously a spoof and a lighthearted artwork, participants cannot help but take aspects of it seriously. In the last installation participants were encouraged to ask their spirit guides a question. Often these were genuine questions about their lives. This makes touching and thought provoking interactions and interesting discussion amongst participants.

As the appointed artist I will be required to develop an artwork, or series of artworks, which enhances the setting for the new residential development on the former depot site, referencing the distinctive context of Mill Road.
