The aims of the project were that the artist would have the opportunity to:
- Work
within an environment consisting of a number of different natural
characteristics and rich in cultural and industrial heritage.
- Work
with the Phoenix group and/or members of the public at various stages of the
process, including negotiating the site for each artist.
- Create
a seat or number of seats, which will highlight a specific aspect of the
area whilst increasing access.
A key aim for the
project as a whole was to develop the relationship between the Country Park and
the surrounding communities.
Key tasks to be
undertaken during the residency:
- Deliver
practical workshops to highlight the techniques involved in the chosen art
form whilst encouraging further discussion of art and design.
- Create
a sculpture or group of pieces, which relate to a specific site.
- Encourage
community development through participation in arts activities.

with the Phoenix Group, throughout the project.

the Phoenix group with various means of documentation before, during and
