A number of public realm projects undertaken include creative and participatory artworks or events towards generating consultation documents of recommendations, primarily for urban regeneration schemes. These documents serve a variety of purposes; in the development of definging a space, working directly with local communities and providing thematic input.
The commissions often commence at the very early stages of a regeneration scheme in order to ensure the proposals and recommendations are embedded within the framework of the project, they can include a broad range of art from stand-alone scultpures, landmark features, paving treatments, earthworks to interior wall pieces, flooring, furniture and colour schemes. Several commissions on this site were generated through this visioning process, with works by both local, national artists as well being comissioned myself. These are most succssful when developed through creative and innovative community engagement ensuring connectivity across all stakeholders, a characteristic of all the commissions on the site.
