Jack has mentored the participants, shaping final works of art that incorporate themes that are important to them. He said,

“I’ve been working with a group of brilliant creative residents to find ways to explore and respond to Barrow’s geology and deep history. As the project progressed we broke into three teams each with their own focus. The ‘Hills team’ were interested in the Slag Hills in Ormsgill, the ‘Sea team’ wanted to throw cameras into the ocean and the ‘Quarry team’ wanted to make a film of them disappearing back into the Quarry or maybe into geology itself.”

Through exploring underwater filming, using blue screens, making sculptures, hanging artworks down street grids, collecting rock samples on field trips, digging holes on the beach and learning first-hand from a professional artist, Signal Film and Media’s ‘Get Digital’ youth participants have created three new artworks to share with the community in Barrow-in-Furness as part of Signal’s Arts Council England funded programme.
