Clare Woods

The artist Clare Woods was commissioned to make a permanent public artwork Brick Field, for the Olympic Park in London. Part of that work has been reproduced and is located outside William Brookes School.

Clare Woods chose to work with the history and location of the Olympic site prior to the development of the Park and to produce a painting, Brick Field, which takes inspiration from the traces of the roads, waterways and railways of the site’s history, which were discovered through maps, photographs and old prints.

The painting was digitally photographed and through a complex process of digital printing, screen printing of special colours and water-jet cutting, the piece was realised in tiles, by the specialist historic tile fabricators Craven Dunnill Jackfield, who are based at Ironbridge Gorge in Shropshire.
