The artwork aims to create transformative, inspirational and playful spaces, which work on both the macro and micro levels that challenge the viewer to consider their position or actions  as an individual and as part of a collective.

In the pathway leading to the main entrance, a  murmuration design utilises three tonnes of block sets to create the the overall effect. The pattern will appear random when standing on it but reveals depth and order from various vistas. Murmuration of flocking starlings is a common sight on the nearby Somerset Levels. As vinyl and block set designs, they continue from the floor, up and over the front glass elevation in pixilated vinyl patterns, the manifestation throwing shadows on the internal dome.

Timber, stainless steel and rubber pods contain ceiling lenticulars. (3D hubble images)

The different lenticular images are set within the roof and along with the PVC curtains, create blocks of colour washing within.

Three timber forms, act as meeting and seating places and the modules are designed to be climbed on, to and dangle feet, from. Height widths and lengths vary to accommodate wheelchair users a variety of group numbers and ages of students. The tall version seats pupils at 1m this height may require a small climb or help up into the seating ledge.
