What a brilliant day today with my Bike & Talk around Glasgow w/ artist Ellie Harrison as part of Glasgow Open House Arts Festival 🚴🚴🏼‍♀️🚴🏿‍♂️ We cycled 7.5 miles, visiting my four #EarlyWarningSigns now sited at Woodlands Community, Impact Arts, The Bowling Green, Pollokshields & The Hidden Gardens until the end of October 2021. The plan is then to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the project by re-uniting the four signs in a central location for #COP26, which will be the first time they have all stood together since they were first made for Artsadmin in 2011.
