The Catch - The London borough of Barking and Dagenham.

Gallery 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 |

One of the intentions of the artwork is to support and inspire children and young people of the area in their ideas and wishes for the future, reflecting the borough's own strategy for regeneration.

Northbury Junior School, close to the site, is involved and all 360 children are participating through making a fish of their own, accompanied by a wish for the future of their community.

Their work will appear here in this online gallery.

The artist has involved graduate students from the University of East London, together with young people from a sixth form college to help run the workshops.

All are currently participating in a cSPACE mentoring programme designed to offer a cascade of skills and experience from cSPACE to the students and young people, and thereby to the children, each offering support and role models to their younger counterparts.

The University has offered to host an exhibition of all work produced in connection with the project at its new Docklands campus early next year.
