This was a collaborative art project with three primary schools - Garden Suburb Junior School, Barnet, Ysgol Gynradd Gymraeg Ynyswen, Taff, Treorchy and Severn Rd School, Cardiff. A group of pupils from each school wrote and illustrated a word, in their first language, expressing what was the most important thing in their life and I transferred these onto individual tiles. I then incorporated them into little mosaics which were given away to visitors to Trafalgar Square when I was on the Fourth Plinth. My website address, linking to this blog is on the back of each tile so that recipients can report back to let us know how far the mosaics - and the childrens' messages have travelled. Please leave me a comment here if you have a tile - and especially if it's in a language you don't understand and you would like to know what it means.
