Memorial Garden, Bemerton Estate Islington

2011-11-08T23:31:00.001Z

Esther and Carl Stevenson co-led this project for All Change. We worked with young residents on the estate to turn a corner of their open space into a memorial garden. The garden was designed as an outdoor interpretation of Jessie's bedroom full of her favourite things, including Ugg Boots, her mobile phone, make-up, perfume, and hair straighteners...

Hand Hygiene Week at Dorset County Hospital

2011-11-08T23:07:00.000Z

Last month Esther completed her fourth project for Dorset County Hospital, creating work for an exhibition at the hospital for Hand Hygiene Week. Esther spent two days on Kingfisher Ward working with children in the ward's Education Centre, or at their bedsides. We created 'bugs' through drawing, modeling and origami, and filled petri dishes with them. We also created some animations and co-designed a sticker and poster to encourage people to use hospital hand gels... Find out more about Arts in Hospital here.

Celebrating Multiculturalism at The Wey Valley School and Sports College

2011-11-08T22:39:00.000Z

Back in June we were invited to lead two days of drop-in workshops at The Wey Valley School and Sports College in Weymouth, as part of an event devised and managed by their Head of Art Dan Emery, celebrating multiculturalism in Weymouth and Portland. We've worked with Wey Valley on numerous occasions, and the students there always come up with amazingly creative work, but this time we were working with groups visiting from other schools and organisations, so we had to devise a workshop that could offer instant rewards, as well as a more in-depth experience, across a broad range of ages. The event embraced the seven Olympic values of Respect, Excellence, Friendship, Courage, Determination, Inspiration and Equality.

During the two days we created origami Olympic sailing boats, which became part of a 'Beach Hut' installation and 'starred' in our animations, complete with wishes for our futures...

2011-11-08T21:59:00.000Z

and with the other, 3D cube-based books for exhibition were created...

Memorial marks over 400 lives lost to AIDS in Dorset

2011-11-08T21:05:00.000Z

Ben worked with pupils from five schools in Bournemouth to create artwork for over 400 digitally printed tiles, representing the lives lost to AIDS in Dorset. The public art commission is located on Bournemouth's Pier Approach and was designed to raise awareness and address prejudice, as well as act as a memorial for friends and relatives.

The work was commissioned by DAMSET

Home Making gets an outing!

French Bedroom Company Brochure Re-design

2010-10-19T16:28:00.002+01:00

Esther has just completed a total brochure re-design for sexy furniture enterprise The French Bedroom Company. The brief was to create a feminine and sensuous brochure to showcase their gorgeous furniture, as well as developing the design to become more complimentary to their web site. It also gave Esther the chance to visit their stunning home, which you can visit to view their furniture ranges, or book as a location for photographic or film shoots! Really, really gorgeous stuff!

Thank you wewow!!

2010-10-11T16:26:00.000+01:00

2010-04-22T20:09:00.003+01:00

Ben and I worked together to design this newspaper for The Pigs of Today are the Hams of Tomorrow in Plymouth. This job had a really quick turnaround and we were invited to do the design as the event producers wanted something really creative. This was the first project that Ben and I have worked closely together on for a while, and we must try and do it more often because we had such a great time creating it together (especially the endless checking of typos!!! he he!)

Regeneration in Woolwich

2009-07-29T16:07:00.005+01:00

I (Esther) spent a fantastic afternoon in Woolwich yesterday with writer Sarah Butler. Sarah and I have worked together before and are planning a public art regeneration project for Woolwich. So, yesterday we went to meet the lovely people at The Greenwich Heritage Centre (http://www.greenwichheritage.org/) and Firepower Royal Artillery Museum (http://www.firepower.org.uk/). It was very exciting to be shown a tiny glimpse of their archive collections - we were shown things as diverse as Spike Milligan and Frankie Howerd's signatures when they joined the Artillery there, amazing old posters with stunning typography, and even cabinets of vast butterfly collections!

Sarah and I are hoping to use the collections as inspiration for a writing and visual arts education project there next year. In the meantime its inspired me to hook out my copy of Interpreting Objects and Collections, to refresh my head on the debate on how we relate to material culture and why we're so obsessed with collecting :)

we|wow

2009-07-29T15:19:00.006+01:00

here at interim we are HUGE fans of we|wow, and have had a few of our DVD designs/products created by them. we are delighted to see they are using one of our booklet designs (from the Write Now and Then project we did in 2007/08) to promote their new eco-friendly WowWallet :)
