The BA (Hons) Fine Art lecturer was commissioned by footwear brand CAT, alongside the Faculty of Fine Arts at the University of Lisbon, Market Fusion and sustainability officers from Lisbon City Council.
The project was a year in planning and several weeks in execution and delivery.
Anthony Heywood took the theme of shoes as the universal, or one of the most ubiquitous of items that every person has in their possession, which developed a strong narrative as the shoes were collected from local people and each one represents an individual member of its own community.
He also had in mind the iconic image of Van Gogh's painting of his boots, which for me carries many universal associations about the different levels of society.
As part of his artistic residency at the University of Lisbon, Anthony spoke at a conference about intervention in public space.
