Research & Development


Period of professional development supported by a grant awarded from Arts Council England.
Various locations: 20 June 2013 - 31 March 2014.

I produced three projects - in Newtown, Wembley and Birmingham - using different forms of public engagement in their development and creation. I also undertook mentoring from three arts professionals to help guide and develop my professional practice. The progress and outcomes of the various projects and fields of enquiry were documented on this blog.

Self-sufficiency

One of the really interesting conversations I had yesterday was with a gentleman who wanted somewhere to grow his own vegetables. His suggestion was that Wembley should have a city farm run by the community.

One of the recurring themes of my stay here has been the notion of more community and social activity - a city farm would be a wonderful addition to this.

So my thinking for how the project will progress is starting to focus on something that is useful, that has a purpose, and that people can use together.

The problem of somewhere to grow your own vegetables in an area of limited space inspired the idea of a rotating, stacked vegetable trough.
