Jacqueline Poncelet contributes two new commissions for The Plot.
Looking Ahead pierces holes through the brick of the retaining wall of the old Ship Street gasworks. A variety of lenses have been fitted into the holes, including some that mimic bee-eyes, as well as mechanically operated kaleidoscopes. Viewers will be afforded an extraordinary and ever-changing view over the gasworks site, the railway viaduct and the hills, as well as the future.
Shimmera consists of seven decorative panels of carefully designed patterns of shimmer discs set into the gable ends of the new buildings containing live-work and retail spaces in Mill Bay. The panels aim to capture and extend the energy of the pedestrian route through the new development, beckoning to the green park in one direction and to the blue sea in the other.
