2011 Creative Partnerships (CP) Southend High School for Girls
Linked to their 'Project 2013' centenary (previously on show at Essex Record Office, images below). I worked with students over three days to develop and record interviews with old girls, culminating in the creation of the Locker Listening post, a prototype installation to stimulate project development, and build on work by other CP artists (John Atwell, Rachel Lichtenstein, Jess Worley). The installation contains extracts from the interviews focusing on social and attitudinal changes which paralleled uniform change.
"…Although it never happened to me it was rumoured that Mr Senger would measure the length of
your skirt when you were kneeling down, it had to be so many inches above the ground or something…they
had to be long enough, there were no short skirts...
"...I used to have to wear a green and white stripy shirt, and the students next door used to call us 'Pacers',
because you used to get these green and white stripy spearmint sweets that looked the same in those days..."

Design/construction project working with two classes (years 1 and 2/3) from October 09 to March 10. Drawing on the Mary Norton book 'The Borrowers', children explored the school outdoor environment using photography, design, camouflage, construction, and team working to look at their world from the perspective of tiny borrowers. The project also allowed staff to draw on concepts of recycling, communicating, reading and writing.
