wrappingthecornexchange



I have just heard that I have been invited to create the designs for the protective netting that will clothe the Corn Exchange in Ipswich whilst it is undergoing renovation. This is an exciting project and the opportunity to see my work on a huge scale. The premise is fairly basic - corn exchange covered in corn! The work stems from the idea of creating a spectacle, a surprise to brighten your day as you turn the corner. The images started out life as work created during the Year of the Artist residency with Sibton Parish Council.
