Creative River Project
The purpose of this project was to enhance the perception of the River Wye by enabling visitors to look at the river through the medium of visual art and performance. This was done by separating into four related projects: an animated walk by working with local performance groups to provide an offbeat guided tour of the river and it's history (both real and fictional); creation of a 3 metre high fish sculpture which was to be partly burnt as part of the event, as well as 5 jumping trout carved out of wood animated by light giving the impression of fish jumping up-stream; “The Illuminated Promenade” lit the trees and footpaths that led into and out of the site; finally, a flag making project which provided daytime animation within the site.
