i’ve been in discussion with the school about the possibility of making a sculpture for their garden. They want to start the process of building a small sculpture park within the grounds of the school and possibly have one or more powered in some way by a solar panel. It all sounds very ambitious but i think lots of fun and potential.
we have already talked about building a wicker sculpture with the pupils and sculptural flowers made out of metal.
i think i would like to design my own though incorporating themes already present in my work and also print. i really like the idea of working out of my comfort zone and pushing the limits of my practice, i think it would be great fun, challenging and educational to try working on a much larger scale especially with metal and print. also the solar panel suggests working with environmental issues which also inspire me and would be great to get the pupils engaging with such issues.
