Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Early Spring Fair 2018

Gillian collaborated with Urban Creations to design a temporary pop-up installation outside Westminster Cathedral (opposite London Victoria Station) for the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS).

They were given a bistro table and chair by the RHS and were asked to create a feeling of spring - in February! - to promote the opening of the RHS Early Spring Fair at Lindley Hall, London, and to attract attention via social media: #RHSLondon.

Starting on site at 5.30am, working in -2C with the assistance of two street lamps, the pop-up had to be finished by 7am in time for early- morning commuters. It was to be dismantled later that evening and then reinstalled 'live' at Lindley Hall while guests were arriving.

The installation was inspired by the proverb, No matter how long the winter, spring is sure to follow.
