Commissioned designer/artist for the ”SEGRO Young Artist Programme”.
I worked with a group of 11 students (12 and 13 years old) at Ruislip High School inviting them to engage in the creative discovery of meanings, possibilities and implications of “the world of work”.
Exploring different design research and practice techniques, each pupils created their own original artwork featuring their interpretation of the theme. Additionally we created two collaborative compositions combining all of their designs.
These two collaborative pieces and two of the individual artworks were featured at an exhibition at the RSA.
If you had a machine that combining your passions, skills and values could automatically create your ideal profession, which elements would you feed into the mix?
