'Cley 12': a contemporary art exhibition featuring work by professional artists, and that year it included this exhibit at the Norfolk Wildlife Trust Visitors Centre, Cley, Norfolk.
This work was a collaborative project between Jessica, 30 x Yr 6 children from Sheringham Primary School, and Dr Kevin Elsby (RPS acclaimed wildlife photographer & GP).
The children wrote stories about the imagined lives of travellers from this area, using the names they copied from the gravestones in the church yard.
Their impressively handwritten tales were bound by Jessica into a large 'ancient' book (this project included a bookbinding aspect for the children), alongside an installation of 'eggs' (fired clay built around decorated flint stones).
Jessica made 5 of her own bird sculptures to accompany these items, and Dr Elsby gave a extraordinary lecture & slide presentation to the children about his travels to the Galapagos, and the migration of bird species from Norfolk, and he displayed some of his photographs as well.
