The Big Draw

Included in The Vale Arts Trail were Big Draw workshops, the national initiative to get people drawing (http://www.campaignfordrawing.org/). Commissioned by Jenny Davis (http://www.wychavon.gov.uk/), Sam Maybank and I floorpapered the Town Hall and invited people in to draw and build their experiences of Evesham in unusual and experimental ways such as drawing with 5 ft long pencils, drawing with their opposite hands, feet and mouths.

Pop in Portraits

As part of The Vale Art's Trail, the young people at Ourside Youth Centre in Evesham invited the public in for tea and cake and the chance to create a portrait of themselves using a mixture of media. We framed the portraits and displayed them in the 'Art Gallery' corner of the centre.

Working Big en el Baño

Letting me loose on her bathroom, the lovely Kim Tanner has commissioned me to ¨do whatever I like!!¨ Over several weeks and with Kim´s input, the murals have evolved into Neptune playing with an octopus, Cherubs in the waves and The Creature from the Black Lagoon awaiting the unsuspecting as they draw back the shower curtain. Putting the designs together with Kim, the opportunity for large sweeping brush strokes, Jamie Rae´s help and various edible gifts left for me around the house have made it a fabulous and enjoyably challenging experience. Thanks Kim.

The World´s Collide Image Mixer

A 95% recycled
creation, inspired
by a life changing
moment in a shop
in Exeter when I
first glimpsed the
mesmorising and
magical
enviroment inside
my favourite
kaleidoscope, this
interactive
sculpture allows
the viewer, by
turning the
transparent disks
at the opposite
end, to encounter
what happens
when the ´World´s
(photos of my two
local towns,
Evesham and
Pershore) collide.
