The
Beacon Centre for the Blind, Sedgley, West Midlands UK
Jaqueline
was asked to
create a wall
panel for the foyer area of the Beacon
Centre's
functions building. The
panel was completed and unveiled in August 2004.
Jaqueline involved the
Beacon
Centre users in the design and making of several of the individual
panels that make the whole. The Beacon Centre's logo forms the basis of
the design and incorporates leaded and cast glass sections.
The
panel designs all
include tactile elements, including the braille
alphabet, the 'shaded eye' symbol and guide dog footprints. Jaqueline
also drew upon the activities of the centre and created relief
impressions of modelling tools
Both full and partially
sighted visitors to the Beacon Centre can all
enjoy this striking art work.
