Summary[edit]

Description
English: 13 April 2014. Exhibits at the western end of Forster Road, Tottenham N17.

Part of the Art in the Open Festival, which showcases several outstanding Tottenham artists for wider public appreciation.

On the left of the photo one of Woodsy's unique, elegant and thought provoking street installations. They are rarely seen these days. Unfortunately her popularity means that Woodsy's pieces tend to be quickly snaffled by art dealers eager to auction someone else's work DIY enthusiasts who mistake them for discarded IKEA bookshelves.

On the right : Alongside is the breathtakingly beautiful piece created by her partner Bouncy and called simply: Blue, Blue and Blue. Always accessible, his apparently simple geometric shapes conceal many layers of meaning and materials. As Bouncy explains:      "People ask me if they've correctly interpreted this work   as some homely everyday object. Perhaps a large iPad   for viewing Imax movies; or a collapsible tent; a blow-up   piano, or a gigantic Belgian waffle-maker. They are   astonished when I tell them it is none of these things".
