'And the Children Shall Lead' was a giant board game situated in the main space of C-Wing as part of the Outside In exhibition and Somerset Art Weeks 2022. Visitors were invited to awaken their inner child by playing the game; rolling the giant dice and collecting tokens along the way to create a large collaborative sculpture that grew over the duration of the exhibition. In keeping with mystic traditions of the Triangle symbol, each token represented a message we want to send to the planet and cosmos. Finally, forming one collective message.
​
This artwork invited visitors to the exhibition to embrace the ‘Sanctuary’ within themselves in the form of playfulness, creative imagination and of course, laughter!
For the World is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky -Shepton Mallet Prison
'For the World is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky' was a cell installation of coloured 3D triangles accompanied by the sound of a Black Hole at the centre of the Perseus cluster of galaxies, recorded by NASA in 2022 which was transposed 57 & 58 octaves to be audible to human hearing. Triangles represent the three elements of our being that need to be balanced in order to reach enlightenment, such as:
​
Mind, body and spirit
Mental, physical, and emotional
Birth, growth, and death
​
When we feel locked within the constructed prison cells of our mind, Solace may be found in remembering that we are all part of a larger universe among the stars.
​
The visiting public were invited to make small 3D triangles to add to the installation.

Transmission - Cadbury Castle
'Transmission' 2022 is a site response work answering the question "What captures your attention?" asked by Artist Coach Fiona Winning during a walking coaching session to the top of Cadbury Castle in Somerset.
A Pink Horse coat, a Yellow Ginko Tree, and a Manhole Cover sprayed Blue. The triangle was placed on the stone circular plinth in an attempt to transmit an abstract visual recording of the Somerset landscape to the cosmos.
