A Word In Your Shell-Like

A piece created for Whitstable residents in response to a brief by Richard Layzell, as part of DIY 9 (Live Art Development Agency).
This was quite a simple, join-the-dots idea for me. Whitstable is famous for it’s Oysters, Oyster shells cover the beach. Oysters reminded me of ears, which are also known as 'shell-likes'.

 

I cast the ears of passersby on the beach, left them to set in plaster, then met each participant at sundown to take them down to the water's edge to give their ear-oysters back to the Whitstable sea.
