Project manager and designer.
A tree-inspired stainless steel sculpture detailing the growth of Wythenshawe Garden City over the last the decades. Each ring represents one decade – a snapshot of people's relationship with the town during each era. Commissioned by Transport for Greater Manchester.
In partnership with Nicola Winstanley.
'It was fields and farms, Then we came, a new start, The picture house, the dance hall, the pub, Sliding down steps on milk crates, Around the multi-storey in skates, We rolled down the mounds and we climbed back up, We climbed up trees in Wythenshawe Park to see that nature remained, On ever-changing ground we grow, our childhoods replayed.'
