The Bird Hide, 2018

RAW Labs, Royal Albert Wharf, London, E16.

 

Commissioned by Bow Arts in partnership with Notting Hill Housing.

​

The Bird Hide was picked as one of the highlights of the London Festival of Architecture, June 2018.

​

The Bird Hide was a semi permanent site-specific installation on the wharf at Royal Albert Docks, built in response to Sara's artist in residency at Bow Arts RAW Labs (Oct 2017 - Feb 2018). 

​

Over the course of the residency Sara engaged with local residents, primary schools and university students through a series of practical hands on workshops. These focused on researching the history and geography of the local area through photography, printing and 3D making.

 

The final installation, a bird/plane hide, references the rich industrial, and natural history of the area, the changing landscape and ecology, as well as proximity to London City Airport.
