"Hopscotched"
2013
Jet washed pavement, Sidgwick Campus, University of Cambridge

Signage populates our urban spaces, guiding us, affecting our movements around the city. We are told to 'push', 'pull', 'return', 'access' or 'stop' as though the city choreographs us in a dance. Claire Weetman has selected verbs and symbols from signage around Cambridge, then jet-washed them into the pavement of the University's Sidgwick Campus. There, you're invited to be led through the public spaces in a playful way as though you've stepped into a board game, or found a new way of playing hopscotch.
