Gillian is currently developing a research project for the Beacon Art Project, for a site specific installation event at the Mansion House, Louth in July ‘10.
The work investigates the visual presence of a still life, articulating metaphor and signifiers for a sense of place. Audience will be invited to an ‘open evening’, to explore the architectural space, and perhaps participate in drawing their own still life.
More details soon.

Join me for the second debate on Hull, sense of place, urban design, creative landscape. We will be looking in particular at the impact of the 2007 floods on the city, and asking if urban design and civil engineering works being carried out as a result can also be a vehicle for the development of a distinctive, innovative and effective urban landscape which celebrates ‘water’ and the relationship that the people of Hull have to the Esturine landscape.
