I am realising the significance of ideas and the need for cultural ideas to be developed in my local area. Ipswich, for example, is not a memorable landscape and as time goes on the more fragile it becomes. At the same time there is a mass of talent underground. The level of creativity you expect in an urban space and the potential for this space to be as important as the bigger cities in the UK and abroad. Broaden this space to consider the entire county of Suffolk and the foundation of ideas that no doubt exists is nearly incomprehensible. I am embarking on a project that hopes to create a space whereby cultural ideas can be expressed. I believe that by showcasing the work of young and/or lesser known artists/thinkers (of any form) i will become part of a pre-existing but not truly identified cultural identity.
