Fairlawn Primary School
John Wood and Paul Harrison

Commissioned by Foreground as part of Bristol City Council’s Primary/Bristol series of artist commissions for primary schools, Wood & Harrison will make a series of interrelated works for Fairlawn School.

The artists will work with the school to create a series of works that explore ideas that bridge the gap between art and science. The works will exist both within the exterior play areas of the school and the internal communal spaces and even turn the new school’s signage into part of the artwork. Ideas of space and gravity, mass and movement, consequence and coincidence will inform a series of works that will stimulate intellectual and physical interaction in the pupils with the artists’ signature combination of humour and serious enquiry.

This project has been commissioned and funded by Bristol City Council as part of the Primary Capital Education Programme. The work will be permanently housed at Fairlawn School, Bristol.
