I am working with a friend Jo on this. She runs this Community Arts outfit called Animate. I have worked with her on several occasions before, and her projects are very community focused.
I have to put this together. There are 400 tiles. Each one done by a primary school pupil and a few dinner ladies and teachers etc.
The whole thing will form a frieze and I will be installing it on Monday.
You know those old school photos of the whole school. The ones where there are five rows of students all pozing formally, the oldest year standing on benches at the back and the youngest ones kneeling down to form the front row. A record of the whole school community.
This kind of reminds me of that. It is actually a celebraion of the year 2008, as this was when their new school was built.
