n 1999 we were asked to do an exhibition at the De La Warr Pavilion in Bexhill. We loved the space with its lightness and breezes blowing in off the sea. We had been going to the circus a lot and wanted to make some sculptures that had something of the movement, colour and excitement of the acts that we saw. We wanted the sculptures to work individually and as a whole and decided to paint the walls of the room pink as a background for the colours. This created some great colour combinations as you looked through the sculptures when walking around the space. We made some of the pieces able to move and sway in the breeze.
The show then travelled along the south coast to the Aspex Gallery, Portsmouth and Brighton University Gallery.
