journeytothend



the brochure for journey to the podium is out and looks good – my text contribution is below and this means that the project is almost over apart from the evaluation form which is one of today’s jobs. A link to the brochure. http://www.essexlegacy.org/about/essex-cultural-olympiad/journey-to-the-podium/
Boccia
Les Bicknell works with the book; a form that enables the dissemination of ideas to many yet simultaneously gives an individual a personal connection to those ideas through the ‘object’ held in the hand. He set out to connect the audience to the experience of Boccia and went onto make a piece with a functionality that mirrors the initial simplicity of the sport; but when handled reveals the complexity and gamesmanship which is embedded within the game play.
