Experiment! is an Arts Council funded project exploring Science, Art and West Cumbria, with my sister, Frances Marr and film-maker Lucia Tambini. It is part of a wider "A Sense of Place" project based at Florence Arts Centre, Egremont, West Cumbria.

Sourcing materials, textures, colours, shapes and sounds from the Florence mine-site, we used clay, paper and gathered materials to make a series of sculptural works. Lucia's film documents the creative process as we explore the mine-site and then continue the experiments in our studios. Two short films Heat and Red Discs were made to accompany the work.

Experiment! is the resulting body of work, celebrating the visual and textural glories of this former industrial site - and its transformation into a centre of creativity for the wider community.
