Emily will be working with Kew Gardens to design and make a hanging chandelier artwork for their 'Temple of imagination'. Emily will be making an artwork inspired by the gardens' History and Kew Palace, and will be working with a local community group to construct elements of it. The Temple of Imagination was designed and made by Artist Sofie Layton in 2008 as a pavilion  reminiscent of the many follies and summerhouses which used to be sited at Kew.

Create KX has awarded Sophie Charalambous, Helen Maurer and Emily Tracy a grant to make a light installation at The St.Pancras Boating Club for The REVEAL festival.  The project will celebrate the life of the canal, the boating community and the history of the Kings Cross Area. The project will offer a series of  workshops for boaters who use and live on the Regent’s Canal between Camden and Islington to make illuminated sculptures and lanterns to decorate their narrowboats. These creations will then become an amazing illuminated water installation for 3 nights at the Kings Cross basin, Regents Canal. The work will be on display 22nd April- 25th April 2010. Full details to follow.

Up Coming Projects:

Emily Tracy and Sophie Charalambous will be returning to The British Museum to continue some collaborative projects with 2 community groups. The project will focus on printmaking and will look at the current ‘Revolution Paper. Mexican prints 1910-1960’ Exhibition.
