Joyride: Jerwood Open Forest Commission 2017, Process and Development

Joyride was commissioned through the Jerwood Open Forest Commission in 2017, an initiative established by the Forestry Commission and Jerwood Charitable Foundation. It was a community-focused live event, which brought together personal and social narratives around the automotive industry, in the West Midlands, informed by the artist’s upbringing in the post-industrialised Black Country.

This item contains a project proposal, 3 developmental drawings, 8 Jerwood exhibition views, and 2 links below to films on the development of the project.
