Wednesfield High School Jonathan Ford Wednesfield High School, Wolverhampton Wolverhampton City Council has adopted guidelines for a “Percent for Art” policy so at least one percent of the budgets of major projects should be allocated to the commissioning of integrated artworks. CBAT was asked to set up a project with the comprehensive school, after an initial presentation by Jonathan Ford had raised their enthusiasm for his work and approach.The involvement of the local community was essential to the success of the programme of works and extensive consultation via exhibitions and workshops was part of the process. Jonathan, based in Coventry, worked over an extended period with a group of A-Level students and created a work consisting of three periscopes placed at the perimeter of the school grounds. One of these looks forward, one looks backwards towards the school and one just reflects the eyes of the viewer. The views are symbolic of looking to the future, to the past and into oneself. The periscopes appear to be connected to the school by a series of cables and following the warning signs will lead you to a series of lockers. Each locker contains a picture of one of the children to suggest further information is contained inside.
