Dockland - Grass Cascade site

Landscaped nature on site

Grass Cascade – initial concept for this space was to reinstitute nature through landscape painting that followed the undulations of the surface. Responding to aspects of the site such as the soil retaining mesh being revealed through the combination of wear and tear on the site and the drought. Examining what was growing such as weeds. Using objects like mesh as stencils.

On discussing the concept further with Oscar, we imagined activities like sliding down on cardboard boxes that continued on to the childhood game of floating paper boats down a stream. From here the idea of projecting onto boat-like objects came up.
During internet research on paper boats I came across a simple oval construction which resembled the hull of a boat. It was envisaged that the interior of these shapes would be painted as developing an animated projection would take too long.
