Ghostsign

Permanent public commission for Clay Farm, Cambridge. Part of the Clay Farm and Glebe Farm development by Countryside Properties. Public art project curated by Future City. The Public artwork is to be a large scale ‘painted’ image celebrating and falsifying the farming heritage of this part of Clay Farm. It’s design references the historical painted advertising hoardings of the late 19th/ early 20th Century that are found at various locations around Cambridge and point to imagined potential past uses of the buildings. This textual work makes reference to the tenant farming family that worked Clay Farm throughout the 20th Century.
