Phoebe Cummings at Victoria and Albert Museum
In 2010, ceramic artists Phoebe Cummings did a residency at Victoria and Albert Museum in London. During those 6 months her studio space evolved as an ongoing temporary installation. From this unique space inside the collections she will be researching how nature and landscape have been represented historically through ceramic objects and interpreting elements of these designs in the construction of three-dimensional environments.Phoebe’s work is absolutely mind blowing. Using only raw clay, she created intricate other worldly environments that seemed to be alive and growing. The amount of detail down to a microscopic level is incredibly impressive.
Although her residency has ended her documentation is still online and can be viewed HERE!

Constructed atop a sun-dappled hill, Gorbet Design’s Solar Collector sweeps the skyline as a gracefully ascending corona of light-laced beams. The interactive installation serves as a conduit for both solar energy and creative input, soaking up sunlight and simple web-based controls throughout the day. Upon nightfall the installation synthesizes its stored reserves into a glimmering light show.
