After a long decision making process, artist Irene Rogan was chosen from a group of 29 applicants to create a piece of public art work for the site in Chettles Yard, Radford.
Irene is an established and experienced artist based in the East Midlands and has worked both in the area and throughout the UK exhibiting and on numerous public art projects. Her work is site specific and includes sculpture and landscaping with current focus on ecology, sustainability and the environment. She often works within a multidisciplinary practice; architecture, building and design professionals.
Concept development for the commission was followed by discussions with the architects and landscape designers and her ideas are well on the way. In parallel with the sculpture progress Irene has started an art-based environmental and ecological research project on the site and River Leen which runs beneath the site, she hopes to work with groups of local students to join her on her exploration.
Irene’s ideas and drawings will be posted on this blog in the next month.
