Landscape

Running concurrently with the development of elements of live art and installation would be the development of a land use project which would aim to harness the environmental and ecological potential of the City Bank site. Whilst maintaining its role as a recreational space it would be possible to develop the usage and community ownership of the site by the initiation of artists creations and interventions This could potentially allow a different approach to the development and maintenance of new habitats for both people and a range of biodiversity.

City Bank will always he to create a buffer zone to urban development as well as harnessing the potential as a place of beauty , interest and artists creation.The role of the artist should be to use their creative skills to approach environments to make them more 'beautiful in their eyes'. My vision is of a project where the explorations of land use, sculptural landscaping and habitat creation would feed into a process of understanding and sharing a space with the local community.

How this will manifest itself and in what physical form would need a long period of research and community consultation. This would be a vital part of ascertaining whether or not there is interest and support for a long term development of aspects of the landscape
