As
my final activity on the Imprints Community Arts Project,
I undertook a residency, with other artists from the project,
at the Wheelock Old School. This culminated in an exhibition
called Responce in November 2002. For which I created two
"generative artworks"; projections with images
and sound, loaded onto a CD-ROM and selected randomly by
the computer.
During my investigations, I found hundreds of plates, which
must have served up thousands of school dinners. I investigated
their formal, visual possibilities, while writer and poet
John Lindley wrote a poem, which projected onto them drifts
and oozes across the surfaces.
I was also able to play with the decorative features inherant
in the place, for example, by placing strong lights under
an ignored section of ancient heating system.
