Be First has been working in collaboration with contractor Willmott Dixon and Studio 3 Arts to install a series of artworks. To be shown on the site’s hoardings, the designs are the first in a series of artworks on construction sites across the borough to celebrate the history, heritage and the future of the area.
These artworks by artist Elaine Tribley is the culmination of a project with Greatfields School. Elaine worked with students from the school who responded to her brief ‘The Estate of Gascoyne’ in March 2021. The students created drawings of the rich and interesting heritage of the area.
'This is our Home', this design has been developed by extracting elements of students’ drawings, creating clusters of buildings, fish and leaves. Each element is a response to the rich heritage and natural resources within the Gascoigne neighbourhood and the town of Barking. From buildings of historical interest to the vast variety of trees and the fishing histories that framed the town's origins. The slogan in the artwork is a reference to how the students' feel about Gascoigne as their home.
