Green Women - Greenhouse Projection

Green Power Women Projection – Light Night 2025

As part of Light Night 2025 in Carr Bank Park, I worked closely with the Green Power group from Mansfield Museum to help bring their ceramic artworks to life through large-scale digital projection inside the park’s historic 1859 greenhouse.

Working collaboratively with the group, I supported the creation of a projection that transformed their hand-made clay Green Women faces into a striking light installation, beamed out from within the greenhouse during the event. The projections formed part of the Green Power Women exhibition and played a key role in the wider Light Night programme, which welcomed over 6,000 visitors across the weekend.

Green Power is part of Mansfield Museum’s Creative Women Together programme, supporting vulnerable women through creative activity to build confidence, connection and resilience. Established in 2022 as part of the museum’s wider Art Power initiative, the project supports survivors of trauma, including domestic and sexual abuse, through artist-led workshops and therapeutic creative practice. Originally funded by the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, the programme is now entering a further two years of support from the Esmé Fairbairn Foundation.

For this project, participants drew inspiration from medieval carvings at Southwell Minster, reimagining the traditional Green Man motif through a feminist lens to create powerful ceramic faces that challenge patriarchal narratives. Alongside the projections, creative writing produced by the group was also displayed as looping text within the installation.

Supporting the Green Power Women projection allowed me to combine digital production with community-led creative practice, helping amplify participants’ voices and celebrate creativity, strength and shared experience within a major public event.
