21-09-2018 - OPTOCAL SIGN
I am delighted to be asked to attend an interview to discuss my approach for a new exciting public art opportunity in Harlow, Essex.
ECDP is now an Arts Council National Portfolio Organisation (NPO) with a key role to play across Essex and the East of England in continuing to support diversity in arts and cultural practice. Their key strategy to achieve this is through a programme of exciting but challenging place-based commissions for artists to work in areas of Essex where there are opportunities to explore diversity through their practice. For 2018-19 they are focusing on five towns/places where community engagement in the arts has been traditionally low – Canvey Island, Harlow, Basildon, Grays and Jaywick Sands. Harlow is the focus of this commission.

EXCITED TO START PRODUCTION ON NEW KALEIDOSCOPIC PUBLIC ART WITH GREAT ARTIST Emily Tracy FOR 25M TIDEWAY HOARDING, WANDSWORTH
Through Kaleidoscope eyes’ is a public art commission, due for completion in Autumn 2018, for Tideway who are constructing the immense Thames Tideway Tunnel a major new sewer, urgently needed to help protect the tidal River Thames from increasing sewage pollution.
This 24 metre long, Di-bond printed hoarding represents a body of work lead by artist Emily Tracy responding to the ecology of King Georges Park, Wandsworth, and reflects a public programme of events in November 2017. This participatory programme, managed by Emily included an opportunity for participants to engage with a local bee keeper, The Wandle Trust, and The Garden Classroom. Local residents were invited to create their own collages, generate ideas, gather reflections and stories about King George’s Park. These will be incorporated into the final artwork which will be installed in spring 2018 for a duration of 2 years.
