Installation artist Laura Ford describes what her installations are about and how she wants people to interact with her work. Her installation 'The Great Indoors' is a play on words – the opposite of the 'Great Outdoors'. She wanted to create an installation where people would feel they were walking through a forest. She created oversized stags where the antlers looked like trees. People would walk under the sculptures and feel they were walking under trees. She also talks us through her piece 'The Glove Boy', which was inspired by early Antarctic explorers going to the North Pole. The figures are not large, they are like little boys with clothes that look homemade. She wants these figures to feel alive.
