Cellophane Live Art Installation with Sarah Gillings

//  Leave a Comment

At this years Lindfield Arts Festival there will be a Cellophane Live Art Installation outside Abbott’s chemist, in the High Street on 21st September. Sarah Gillings is a an award-winning multimedia and street artist who will create a wonderful street art piece using Cellograff. Cellograff is a technique where cellophane is stretched between any available support making paint ready surfaces, in this case Lindfield’s iconic Lime trees!

Cellograff provides the artist the freedom to create murals in a variety of new locations without the restriction of needing a wall. The translucent nature of the plastic adds a fascinating layer of visual complexity to the mural. Sarah’s Cellograff interventions typically involve inserting British wildlife into unexpected settings.

So come along and watch Sarah create a wonderful street art piece using just spray paint and cellophane wrapped around two trees!

More information about Sarah’s work can be found on her website here, her Instagram here or her Facebook page here.

This event is from 10:00am to 4:30pm on September 21 on Lindfield High Street
