Co-Link (2024)
Collaborative Installation
Mixed Media. High Wycombe fine art studio.
Working in collaboration with the very talented @tara_lee_hollander_art, Co-Link (2024) was an interactive installation inspired by my appreciation of two highly regarded British sculptors; Barbara Hepworth’s Winged Figure (1963) and the silver elegance of Cloud Gate (2006), Anish Kapoor. We both worked on creating a selection of individual links that would when played with, could form a chain of community. Our plinth presented these works and was designed to celebrate the beauty of individual diversity and the uniqueness of people.
We included a video that showed the ideation and construction of our installation which encouraged participants to interact and make a chain of links. This meant no two chains were ever the same. We wanted this to encourage conversations about the importance of inclusion and to represent the same of the communities we all share.
