Prague Fringe Award 2011

The Prague Fringe Festival 2011 –  May 27th to June 4th.

a very special event that it is, now considered such an important part of Prague’s cultural calendar, and described by Steffen Silvis at the Prague Post as “The world famous Edinburgh Fringe festival’s naughty grandchild”.

This year a special piece of my work is being presented as  The 2011 Kreativni Cena (Creative Award)

This award is awarded in exceptional circumstances to an individual or company who has truly embraced the spirit of the festival; it is not exclusively a creative award although can be such and will be awarded by festival directors on an occasional basis.

Illuminating Hadrian’s Wall

This was a great event   —  Illuminating Hadrian’s Wall was  a spectacular line of light from coast to coast, along the length of Hadrian’s Wall, on Saturday 13th March 2010.

My studio is sitting directly on top of a Roman Milecastle – part of  Hadrian’s Wall that I discovered.
