The Matter of The Heart
Light Up Lancaster is one of my favourite events in our local calendar. Not just the sense of community and beautiful bustling dark evenings in the city, but I absolutely love seeing the art installations all lit up. I have been fortunate enough to see some incredible installations by some great artists over the years, so I was delighted to be invited to get involved with one of them for Light Up 2024.
Interim Show Prep & Shoot
There was a mix of emotions, preparing for the Interim Show, and an awful lot to learn. My initial intentions were to have a physical installation at Trinity Buoy Wharf - anything else felt second best, and almost as if I had failed. Jonathan helped me to realise the logistics of getting a heavy concrete structure to London would perhaps detract from the magic of creating. I decided following a chat with him, that setting up the installation at home, and doing a photo and film shoot would be a different dynamic, and one that I would certainly enjoy.
The Case of the Red Shoes
I came across an art installation in the centre of Lancaster earlier this week. I was immediately drawn to it and went over to speak to the artists involved, to find out more.
Artifacts as Art?
I attended the Slave Trade exhibition at Lancaster’s central museum this afternoon. I have always been interested in 18th and 19th century history, but was particularly drawn to the artifacts that had been recovered and preserved.
