A healthier Future by Eloise Pilbeam

For this residency, I co-created sculpture with the children from St Albans Primary School to create sculpture that utilise random weaving, winding and binding processes. We created abstract shapes that invoke a sense of internal and external spaces. The children communally built up the weaving and stringing on 5 sculptures which were exhibited in the Harlow town park sensory garden. The children really enjoyed the bright colours and textures and the open ended creative process which engaged their imaginations and allowed them to play freely. I used reclaimed fabrics to liberate basic resources and breathe new life into fibre. We really enjoyed manipulating and transforming the materials which displayed a sense of transformation and regeneration.
