Daniel Wallis

Daniels work as an artist focuses on the relationship between viewer, artwork and the real locations and it is these links that have led to an interest in community-based artwork. From the suburbs of London himself, Daniel will be working with young people from Walworth Secondary School, using drawing to explore their responses to the environment in which they live. The workshops will use drawing techniques of the surrealist and CoBrA artists to explore relationships with the park.

Howard's role in the project is in producing the video documentary, he hopes to give the students insight and facilitate them in the editing process, therefore having direct input into the final documentation.

Laura Braun
