At the community garden in St Leonards the Transition Town team of eager volunteers put together a beautiful garden bench, in less than half a day! We are calling it the ‘Proposal Bench’ for the #JaneEyreProject which takes place in St Leonards from Feb 21 to March 7.
We are inviting visitors to the garden to sit, enjoy the space and write a proposal.
A fleet of vulnerable boats, suspended in space and time, are captured in the act of sailing through the gallery, towards their future, an unknown destination.
I was a contributing artist for the collaborative installation Sea Crossing at the Electro Studios in St Leonards. I made three boat hulls from old metal street cleaner bristles. You may be able to spot them in the photo.
Organised by South Coast Artists, the installation referenced international artist Hew Locke’s work, For Those in Peril on the Sea (2011) and alluded to the current refugee crisis.
