Feast
For the courtyard roof, Lucy has made a ‘little world’ of humorous creatures with animal forms and human characteristics. These five intriguing figures look as though they are part of a story, gathering together for a feast or picnic. Imagine a scene interrupted – the characters mid-conversation offering and reaching for the food.
Designed to be viewed from the overlooking wards and treatment rooms, the sculptures range in height from 30cm to 1 metre and are made from coloured plaster.
As part of the Arts Project’s education programme, Lucy carried out practical workshops in making tin sculptures with primary and secondary school children in February and November 2004.
My first thoughts when I saw the site and the wards were of a midnight feast; memories of sleepovers with friends as a child and feasting in the night. I like the idea that the figures are unaware of being watched as they feast. The figures enjoy the site where no-one can reach them; it’s their roof.
