One of six light boxes

The Westfield School commission was to create a series of artworks that would enhance the school environment, especially the sports facilities which are also for community use. The works were a series of photographic light boxes, a large acrylic wall piece, vinyl artworks and manifestations and stainless steel wall plaques.

The imagery was developed through working with students in the school around the theme of movement and sport. Installation of the work involved working closely with contractors on site through the site manager. Kier Build are particularly strict on site safety and required a health and safety qualification to gain a PASMA (scaffold tower) certificate and for working at height as well as producing risk assessments and method statements.
