Southport Flowers Show Success

As you will know from our previous posts Twisted Pages and the Artists from the Waterfront Arts Project have taken part in a large scale installation exhibited at Southport Flower Show last week. The show ran from Thursday 16th of August to Sunday 19th of August and was once again overflowing with thousands of curious visitors!

The Waterfront's installation that was made up of over forty mini bar fridges was spread across three sites dotted around the huge grounds where the show took place. The beauty of this exhibition titled 'COOL!' was that it allowed members of the public visiting the show to engage with the art by actually touching it! Each fridge when opened displayed an individual piece of art work, created by the Waterfront Artists especially for the show. 

It was great to see crowds gathering around the fridges and tentatively opening each door, people of all ages could enjoy this interactive piece of art as there was definitely something for everyone. 

The response that we got was amazing! With many people paying the Waterfront Arts Project tent a visit to tell the artists just how much they loved the work. With many enquiring about visiting the gallery itself and also informing us that they had already seen some of the fridges on display in the Wayfarers Arcade on Lord Street. 

The piece was definitely a success and we can't wait for next year!

Moonlit Midnight Mirage

Moonlit Midnight Mirage is Twisted Pages second installation in the world of fridge art. Ready for Southport flower Show 2012. The scene shows a silent garden lit by a hand quilled silver moon, reflecting onto origami flowers, all in a midnight colour pallet. 

The piece made entirely out of paper will go on show this Thursday (16th August) The Waterfront Arts Project will be at the show all weekend, with fridges from many of the galleries artists. For more information on the waterfront arts project you can visit the website www.waterfrontarts.co.uk

The newest exhibition piece that Twisted Pages have created will go on show next week among many other brilliant artists from Southport's Waterfront Arts Project. All the artists have been working on a variety of mini bar fridges to create a large number of cool 'fridge installations'. 

These seemingly simple fridges entice the public passing by, to take a peek inside and be surprised by unique art installations created for this event! A selection of the fridges to go on display at the Flower Show are currently being displayed in Southport's Wayfarers Arcade on Lord Street. 

Don't worry if you haven't had the chance to see them, they will be exhibited with many more from Thursday the 16th to Sunday the 19th of August at Southport Flower Show. ( 10am - 6pm Thurs to Sat and 10am - 5pm on Sun)

Wayfarers Arcade Fridges

Short video of shoppers having a look at the fridges on display, they are proving to be quite popular as well! Twisted Pages have one fridge on display in the Wayfarers Arcade, Southport, Merseyside at present and will have two of them in Southport Flower Show. With our iconic modern take on quilling and our hand made paper flowers we are hoping our fans wont miss it. Hopefully we will gain a few more fans along the way!
