I’ve been busy creating small ‘vitrines’ from old suitcases recently, as part of my installation at [1] College Lake along with three other artists commissioned by [2] Outdoor Culture.

I’m going to be installing the work at the start of November, alongside large map-based panels that are currently at the framers and which were inspired by migratory birds, so not long to wait until the installations are open to the public!

Here’s a few photos of work in progress to give you a taster, combining archive photographs of the lake’s industrial past as a working quarry, images of wildlife found on-site, and found objects relevant to the reserve.

They are still a bit rough, and need a bit of working on, but I think they are progressing nicely.
