Creative Connections Year 2, 2003-2004
During the school year 2003 - 04, I was one of four artists placed in four London Secondary Schools. In collaboration with the art teacher we devised two projects with two classes to help them encounter and gain an understanding of the contemporary exhibitions at the gallery. This research led the pupils to experiment with new materials and processes; this included long exposure photography and drawing with laser light. At the end of the project their work was exhibited in the education space at the gallery.

Living City, 2005
The Building Exploratory asked me to devise a project focussing on issues of recycling, sustainable buildings and community. Working with a local primary school we visited the Hackney Empire to discover how sets were created on stage. Using this knowledge the pupils built 3D diorama models illustrating invented domestic spaces or cityscapes. Their work was displayed in the Science Museum during summer 05.
