Artist Dan Pollard’s 'Voices of the Avon Tideway' brings together field recordings from the Avon, the resonances of St Philip’s footbridge and voices recorded with the 80-strong Tideway Choir at St Mary Redcliffe Church.

These sounds are now being shaped into a 12-hour installation spanning a full tidal cycle.

From low tide to high tide and back again, the compositions will play through the architecture of St Philip’s footbridge, amplifying and resonating along the tidal river valley.

🗓️ Join us at St Philip's Footbridge on Sunday 20th September, 6am – 6pm

In the studio with Bristol-based artist Frea Buckler, developing a commission for One Friary, a new building beside Bristol Temple Meads.

Shaped alongside the architecture, the work has evolved through drawing, collage, screen printing and model-making, exploring colour, shape and movement. The final sculpture appears to move in and out of the building, passing through the windows and folding around the entrance atrium.

Produced by Ginkgo Projects and commissioned by Bankfoot APAM.

When the temperature rises, we — like wildlife — seek shade and shelter. 🌿

At Cribbs Causeway in north Bristol, Cribbs Canopy by Denman+Gould creates new places to nest, shelter and thrive for birds, bats, bees, butterflies and moths.

Set among meadow planting, a new pond and mature trees, the sculptural installation transforms part of a sustainable drainage landscape into a richer habitat, bringing people closer to the nature already living alongside them.

Commissioned and produced by Ginkgo Projects on behalf of Baylis Estates Ltd, with specialist input from local and national conservation partners.

Created through months of research, digital modelling, 3D printing, mould-making and bronze casting, Sebastien's richly detailed bronze sculpture celebrates the people, places and stories that have shaped the town across the centuries.
