Here is an image of one of the set pieces i spoke about last week! I’ll post the others over the next few weeks! .
.
. ‘I am me: We are kindred’ my involvement has been with the designing and manufacturing of the stage set and various props at my studio @thedualworks its been interesting for me to see how it relates to some of the themes I’ve been exploring with FlockOmania, such as experiential, sensory and immersive environments, promenade performance, audience interaction and how wearable elements became part of a moving set. This set piece locates wearable collars on the top of the triangles for the audience to wear on there promenade journey. Each collar is made from #Flotex flocked carpet sponsored by @forboflooringuk .

#flockOmania #Friday this week looks back to #futuremakers last summers artist residency @mac_birmingham I was reminded of this fantastic experience by listening to @anviere___ talk at #thelanguageofus hosted by @interventionarchitecture @centrala_space this week. We heard from invited speakers who questioned play, creative risks, collaborative practices and uniting communities. Thanks for an enjoyable and inspirational evening @interv_arch @bham_colab @Harbinderbirdi @Yinkoos

#flockOmania #friday #flashback is bought to you this week from @thedualworks where I’m currently working on a number of projects! .
.
This week I’ve been building our new studio showroom and meeting up with @anna_parker_1 @interventionarchitecture @anviere___ to plan an exciting exhibition for @designfestbrum .
.
I’ve been experimenting with ideas, large scale model making and hatching plans with @spectraartscompany for their forthcoming show #kindred we also received some amazing sponsored materials from @forboflooringuk to use in the show! (have a look at the factory images from last week!) .
.
It was also exciting to meet up with @polly__hudson and we are starting to #plot a new performance project together.
Exciting!
#thankflockitsflotex #flockOmania #friday comes from #derbyshire this week where we had the pleasure of visiting @forboflooringuk I do live a #factoryvisit and this was an incredible visit to see the manufacture process of #flotex #flooring we saw the flock being made and how it’s created into carpet. The scale of production is immense and I was impressed to see one of the lines is dedicated to recycling materials too. Big thanks to the team for showing us around!

I’m enjoying posting #flockomaniafriday #fridayflashback as it’s giving me a chance to look back and reflective on some beautiful moments which I can often overlook in the madness of making the work. Here is a rare image of Steve and I together captured by #christiankipp. For those that don’t know Steve is my partner in crime and without his constant encouragement and enthusiasm for my creative mind flockOmania would have never happened! .
