Riverside Projects, 2020 on going

Independent

Riverside Projects is a collaboration between myself and artist Sarah Filmer for our local park Riverside, Southampton. The collaboration began during the first Covid-19 lockdown and was born out of a desire to make and produce quick and simple artistic interventions in the park. We sometimes work together and independently. The programme is self-funded and happens when we each have time and resources to give.

So far the programme has included the following activities and interventions:

  • Pick a string and make a thing
  • Colligraph prints made from leaves found in the park
  • Colligraph print making packs
  • Wildflower seed bombs
  • Bird illustrations painted with pig nut ink (Sarah Filmer)
