Paradise This Way
A project commissioned by the Crafts Council for the States of Play exhibition Hosted at Humber Street Gallery as part of the Hull City of Culture 2017
where we collaborated with Hull-based companies Daifuku-Logan and Humber Galvanizing to showcase the skills and abilities of the region and create an artwork would hopefully generate smiles and a small insight into our understanding of the history of the city and local area.
Newton's Bucket
In 1689 Isaac Newton conducted an experiment where he hung by a rope a bucket
filled with water. The rope is twisted up tightly on itself and then the bucket is released beginning to spin rapidly. Inspired by this experiment we have exchanged the rope
for a turntable, the bucket for a hollow hemisphere and water for non-toxic resin to create a series of bowls that capture this moment in time, which will make each piece unique.

we could not make this project without the help from our expert
