Wirral Metropolitan College

I decided to change electives this year and had our first meeting of the 'Site Specific' elective that I have chosen. First task is to work in a team of three, research the area of Exchange Flags in Liverpool and produce design boards & maquette for a proposed piece of work to be situated there.
I have spent a lot of time of the weekend researching the history of Exchange Flags and we're going to have a 'brain-storming' session on our coach trip to Yorkshire Sculpture park on Wednesday.
The great thing about this work is that we can be madly adventurous, money no object as it won't ever actually be produced. Fancy telling me money no object, ohh if only it was real!!
The bad thing about this is – there is already a piece of work situated there for the Biennial and it is amazing – so how do we even try to compete with it?
Ai WeiWei's spider has spun his web of lights right across Exchange Flags and at dusk, the crystals and led lighting cast the most amazing shadows onto the flag stones below.
Will have to try & think of something completely different that bears no spidery resemblance. Looking forward to this now :)
