4189196. architecture for everyone feb 2011
Architecture for Everyone 2011. The lovely people at Architecture for Everyone asked me to come back for a second year of the Sheffield leg of their project. This year I worked with the young people to again create a visual brief but this time the end result was a wearable installation discussing what is important in designing urban green spaces. We photographed the installation at Park Hill flats in the rain in February 2011. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Simple template. Powered by Blogger.

NEW WEBSITE COMING APRIL 2014 www.ruthieford.co.uk. A visual artist who focuses on traditional handmade textiles techniques such as knitting, crochet, embroidery and appliqué. Colour is intrinsic to everything I do. The form of my work is constantly varied but often involves intervention and installation. I am interested in street art, displaying work in a non gallery setting, adding artwork to the urban environment to engage the public and create joy; catching people off guard and making them smile.

Tagging Australia, October 2010. I spent October in Australia visiting in friends and returning to old haunts. It was a very needed, relaxing and inspiring month. I took a bag of multi coloured wool, needles and hooks with me and made tags in my free time to leave my mark. Newtown Park, Sydney. And a woman said 'Is it you that puts these up everywhere? I wish it was me! The tag is still there (Feb 2011) and Chris and Sian have reported that another one has since been put up in the entrance to the park.

I created the cosyberry bush for The Sharrow Winter Garden Trail. In December 2009 and decided to leave the berries attached to the bush and see what happened to them. These pictures were taken a month later during the snow and the berries were still going strong. A month after that they were gone. The bush was cut down by the council, I think during routine maintanance. I'd like to have seen their faces! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Simple template. Powered by Blogger.

The inside of the den became a wish tree of ideas, pictures, experiences and stories. Every participant left a message. Lots of people explored the den and there was ...

Empire Road Roundabout, January 2010. Inspired by groups like Knitta in America and others all over the world I decided to start guerilla knitting (or yarn-bombing/ grafitti knitting) in my area of Sheffield. I put up this tag on the lampost in the middle of the mini roundabout near my house in January 2010. I expected it to get trashed within a few day but it is still there even now (Jan 2011!

Idea for LICC project. I have been thinking a lot about dandelion clocks lately. I used them in a project a few years ago and I have noticed they are all over the place again. I was thinking about using the below visual for some personal work but realised it could be an effective image for the shop window display. Yesterday when I was up at Parson Cross I was struck by the idea that as well as making pompoms to hang from trees that we could maybe make some into flowers to plant around the area. They ...
