Home Again…

I’m back in Wiltshire after my time in Dorset and London, catching up on my own work and planning new projects with different partners. Here’s some of the work from the last few days, first off the children from Symmondsbury School in Dorset and their work reflecting on the visit to the Denhay Dairy Farm.

My time working at Little Ilford School in Newham, East London was inspiring and life affirming… the year 9 students that I was working with were a great group of young people, exploring the issues and horrors of the holocaust, and creating a tree of hope in relief for the wall of their drama studio. The tree was constructed and woven in relief onto painted canvas, with symbols of hope, peace and inclusion hung as leaves, fruit and birds from it.

The last image isn’t so great as my camera started to play up, but you get the idea of how the separate parts come together to form the whole, group piece at the end.

For more information on The Bow Arts Trust who set up the project in partnership with the school, go to www.bowarts.org
