When the Red Rose in Blackpool

A Victorian cast-iron seating shelter on Blackpool's North Promenade is engulfed by a giant red bubble. Created for the Lightpool festival, the piece plays with the historic seaside architecture and temporarily transforms it into an illumination. Just a passing intervention that helps us re-evaluate a familiar location and contemplate the narrative of place. 'When the Red Rose...' was a series of temporary installations and interventions on ordinary and familiar places across Lancashire commissioned by Marketing Lancashire and individual arts festivals
