A day at
Suffolk Show on the SZC stand. It was
quite a surprise to turn up and find a large picture of me on the stand.
In amongst the incredibly professionally printed display and children’s
colouring in activity I decided to ask the public What does electricity look
like? I spent the day finding answers from young people through drawing. I
noticed that there was a point (around 4/5 years old) when drawings that attempted
to capture what is quite an almost impossible act, that of drawing something
that we cannot see, where the actual feeling or experience of electricity turns
to drawings of circuit boards and other examples of what we use it for. education…...
don’t you love how it changes the mind. I had some extraordinary conversations
with the public – about creating sculpture in the brain, realigning neurons in
the brain as an artwork and how design works when attempting to provide solutions
within restricted spaces – fascinating. Suffolk Show throws up lots of questions
and a few answers.
