Cissbury Ring reconnaissance
I spent the day on Cissbury Ring. Looking for the perfect spot to make my response to Yvonne – an enormous Inkling!
Embracing our differences – as a response to Yvonne’s miniature work made indoors, I decided to go large scale and outdoors. Cissbury Ring is my familiar place, near to my home I have regularly walked here with my dog Fizzy for the past 10 years. Rosie Powell was to film the making of the piece. It felt exciting, performative and a little scary. Lots of preparations and considerations needed to be made. I needed a large flat area and lots of water. I found a water trough and a perfect spot to make my mega sized Inkling.
