Play This Way

Unique custom-made materials, games and playable sculptures have been developed by Chris through interactive research and play-testing with children in early years settings in Cork City.

Taking inspiration from child-centred pedagogies such as the Montessori and Reggio Emilia approaches, as well as Simon Nicholson’s loose parts play theory, children are invited to interact with the space and materials - exploring, playing, imagining and having fun.

As the space changes and evolves as a participatory installation, Chris will document the results of the children’s play, with this photographic documentation accumulating in the space in varied formats throughout the exhibition.
