I designed this paper leaf installation for a wellbeing conference. I led a team of volunteers who helped create all the leaves which were stapled to a large piece of chipboard that was going spare. We painted the chipboard to match the colour of the wall. All the leaves were folded, coloured, crumpled and crimped to give a greater 3D effect. The finished pieces made a huge difference to the space and created an energy of wellness to emphasise this focus of the conference.

the word 'hope' made out of a rope light shining bright in a dark room with a white man in a red plaid shirt in the bottom right

It literally took my breath away when I walked in - sooo beautiful.

'Hope & Joy' event delegate

I designed and created this piece as  part of a set for a Christmas event themed 'Hope and Joy'. We had 'hope' on one side and 'joy' on the opposite side of the wall. I taped the rope light out into the letters and then used tacks on either side to hold them in place.
