A Lynn school is putting art at the forefront with eye-catching exhibitions and thought-provoking installations.

Springwood High School's year 7 pupils created a spectacle this month with a sculpture akin to a tower, made entirely of 350 chairs.

Titled 'Hope for a Better Future,' it draws inspiration from Doris Salcedo's 2003 piece '1550 Chairs', symbolising refugee displacement.

Lee Eveson, the school's Art and Photography head, said: “Year 7 wanted to create their own version of this to show support for all of the people who have been displaced across the world."

Two solo exhibitions by sixth formers are also featured.

Lily Rolf's 'Family Bonds' uses mixed mediums including textiles to portray her family.

Miss Rolf's contemporary approach to portraiture involves repurposing old clothing.

Fellow student Maria Lewis’ work celebrates Springwood's diversity, with ten vibrant portraits of African heritage pupils.

Mr Eveson said: “I think it is important that we celebrate all areas of our community at Springwood High School.

"We do this through all of the creative media, and it is one of the strengths of the school.”
