"The Glass Summer House
This is an artwork we did for the St Mary's maternity hospital in Manchester.
We imagined that when the builders came to excavate the site, they discovered a neglected Victorian summer house. Rather than disappear, it had become home to a rich and magical collection of nature and otherworldliness. In this story we thought that the builders might be inspired to leave the structure there and build around it; a representation of the beauty and continuity of life through change and adversity."

Another beautiful sculpture - the Chandalier of Lost Earrings

A wonderfully simple idea of an enclosed, but visible space that can be altered and changed with installations and artwork.

An exhibition that you see from the outside, like window displays.

Frames

For an activity within the tent I want blank 'framed' space for people to create temporoary art work on the wall.
