Evaluating our Evolution

We've finally compiled the evaluation of this year's evolution process, and sent it to the Arts Council, wrapped in an orange picnic blanket. We are meeting Emma Wilcox next week to feed back on what we have found out and to discuss our future Figure Ground Projects.

As part of the evaluating, the Figure Ground suitcase was finally emptied of its contents and reorganised into a spick and span new model with all the collected picnic blankets of the year's work, as well as our fabulous book/deck of cards and essential stationary. It now awaits further adventures....


The deck of cards is now available as a series of pdfs, please get in touch via figuregroundprojects@gmail.com if you would like a link to download it.

If Figureground was a structure, what would it look like?

One of the projects from the weekend was for each individual member of Figureground to draw the structure that represented what Figureground meant to each of us. The following two are from Katy and Jack, with more to come from out other members.
