Public Art Commission - Part II

 

I have just about enough faces to commence installation. The children are also really excited to see their handywork up on the fence.  I will be sad to leave this fun, albeit loud space. I've made some great little friends and am even more inspired than before to have children. Stay tuned for the final outcome!

Public Art Commission - Part I

 

 I have begun working on my first public art commission. Myself and two other artists have been commissioned by the Council of Kensington to work with local schools to produce art for the gates and fences of the local community. I am working with the children of the kindergarden. 52 four year olds to be exact! The project I designed is a portrait garden, where each child will produce a portrait onto corflute (a recycled material) and then decorate it to look like a flower. Eventually I am hoping to fill the fence with the flower-portraits and leaves to create a nature inspired, and very happy fence. Wish me luck!
