Flash mix it up

South West Cob sculpture Seal

Young people from the flash group in Plymouth joined forces with the Take A Part project and Stepping Stones to nature to produce a ‘cob sculpture’ in Kinterbury Creek.

The sculpture is one of a number across 5 Plymouth communities.The group were invited to join Efford residents from a community group called Crazy Glue who had commissioned artist Alain Pezard to work with them to create cob sculptures (out of mud and straw) across Plymouth. The purpose of the project was to start a dialogue with communities about their areas and about their thoughts on contemporary art. The process of making the work and speaking with communities was made into a film – The Art Orbit, which will screen at Plymouth Arts Centre for the duration of British Art Show 7.
