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 in Gascoigne, 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 a series of different artworks that included 21st century self-portraits in the style of local dignitaries such as Sir Crisp Gascoyne and Mrs Margaret Bamber.
‘We Are Greatfields School’, students’ self-portraits have been extracted and placed on a ‘wallpaper’ pattern background created by using leaves drawn by the students. The artwork has been spaced out like a grand hall of framed portraits found in homes such as the Gascoyne Manor House which once stood on the Gascoigne neighbourhood.
