For this Transported Art engagement activity Phiona Richards and I found ourselves in Wyberon Parish Hall, once the sat-nav managed to make sense of the lay of the land! We were in a great community space which, in many ways, was tucked away from the community. There was a team of Social Workers having a training day in another room, so tantalising to have so many people in the building but unfortunately they didn't have a spare moment to join us. We did meet some wonderful local family members who spent a very happy and productive afternoon folding and shaping paper with us.
Participants
created abstract flower corsages
from maps / recycled or fabric papers, personal memorabilia,
local ephemera, found papers, button and brads.
We have been living in a throwaway society,
through this activity we hoped to show people
that they have the power to transform unwanted papers
into something beautiful.
