The Site: Chalk Pit (Butterfly Drive) Paulsgrove, Portsmouth, Hampshire, UK
(The artwork/Earthworks/Community works)
Paulsgrove Chalk Pit is a valuable site for wildlife and is adjacent to the Portsdown Hill Site of Special Scientific Interest. The aim of this commission is that we would like to get the local community onto the site, and for them to experience an artistic, interpretative play trail that helps children to learn about the area’s natural environment in a fun way whilst being sensitive to the area.

About Me
- simon lee dicker
- Simons practice explores the relationship between the empirical experience of ‘place’ and the understanding of a particular portion of space as a concept. Using a broad range of materials and methods of production as much importance is placed on the processes involved in making the work as in what is produced or presented. Previous work has involved the use of locative media, mapping software, earthworks, websites, light based installations, action research, sculpture, painting, drawing and photography.
