Testimonials
Pat van Boeckel: The challenge in Heckington for me was to make artwork which would not disturb the unique atmosphere of the centuries old church. In this way the video was a new experiment for me. In between the various projections I left room to look at the beauty of the church itself. I was surprised how much the church and the video could strengthen each other. I've never experienced so many (local) people taking the trouble to come to thank me personally.
Emily Tracy: I think my piece explored the building's architecture and context. It encouraged visitors and participants to do the same. The project offered opportunities for the local community to engage in the process of making the piece and to contribute to it.
William Lindley: I found St Andrew’s Church to be a fascinating building and I aimed to create an installation that would encourage visitors to explore it in depth. I introduced a range of works and contrasting experiences across the church, spanning from large ephemeral projections to small physical interventions into the building fabric. It was a tremendous opportunity to work freely in such an inspirational setting, and work in close collaboration with the church, partners, and community.
