We decorated the forest area to encourage the children to see it with fresh eyes and think about what they were looking at.
Working with air hardening clay the children spent time in the forest area looking at the shapes of leaves, buds, twigs, seeds, pods...anything they could find that inspired them to re-create their own shapes. They then took these tiny sculptures and placed them in 'The Gallery of Gilded Frames'. The trinket Treasures were also placed in the Gallery.
The work made by children at Chapel Street greatly influenced the shape of the sculpture. Here is a maquette (small study sculpture) that Rachel made from clay using the children's work as inspiration. Rachel had to design an area in the sculpture that could hold the treasures without loosing the children's influence.
