What began as a series of experimental drawings layered over black-and-white photographs of Southampton has evolved into a collection of large-scale modular sculptures inviting people to experience shared spaces in new ways.
Unlike traditional public artworks, Scribble’s sculptures are intentionally open to interpretation. They can become seating, stages, meeting places, workshop spaces or places to play, depending on how people choose to use them.
Our city is a playground, and through Scribble we can explore how architectural forms and sculptures can be exhibited to encourage community engagement, promote physical literacy, develop strong connections with culture and improve mental health.
The project is a metaphor for movement, creativity, and play. So, Scribble on them, in whatever way that means to you. These are interactive art for EVERYONE, enjoy!
