[Below:] Public Art Intervention #1: "Hopscotch!" (2007) carpet squares and duct tape installation, 86m x 1m. On 6th-9th September 2007. At Paternoster Row/Castle Street, Carlisle. This was featured in News and Star newspaper, Lookaround Border News and on BBC Radio Cumbria too. It was the talking point of the city at the time and locals wondered where it had appeared from and why it was there. There was even speculation that it was an advertising stunt. The original piece was actually created and installed some months earlier but was removed by disposal men, who mistook it as litter! The piece was very well received in the end and the locals mostly engaged positively with the artwork. Some said it evoked of memories of childhood - a carefree, colourful, happy-go-lucky and safe existence. Others saw it as a feat of endurance - to hopscotch from the start all the way down to the last tile. Just one gentleman called it "vandalism".
[Below:] "Hopscotch! #2: Wakefield" (2011) carpet squares and duct tape installation, approx 10m x 1m long. On 25th May 2011. As part of Temporary Art Show 3: Part 2 (2011) At Westgate Studios, Wakefield. This piece allowed me to explore ideas of site specificity and viewer interaction on new territory. The piece acted as an appropriate entrance to the exhibition and studios. It helped to draw in new visitors as well as provoking people to ask questions as to what it was and why it was there. Reactions included: curious looks, complete ambivalence, many avoiding to walk over the piece (carefully tiptoeing to the side), a few playful games of hopscotch... and even the Highland Fling was performed on it!
