UP Projects Art Installation
Comprising four large-scale artworks, Jessie Brennan’s new commission takes visitors on a journey through the historic, social, political and economic factors that have impacted the area and shaped its identity.
Jessie Brennan’s artwork interprets,
- Histories — drawing on lesser known heritage to create the conditions to imagine alternative futures.
- People — identifying previously lesser celebrated local champions through engaging local communities.
- Ecology — communicating the unique ecological aspects of the site – its connection to water, the docks, ecological aspects.
