Title
The Red Fort
Description
A paper cast of a low-relief model of the front of the Red Fort in Jaipur, with coloured hand-made paper inserts.
Celia secured a place on BBC1's new concept series 'Home Is Where The Art Is' which matches up artists with prospective buyers. She went on to have her work selected and purchased by the featured buyers, who lived in the Manchester area.
Each episode shows the twists and turns of the commissioning process, and the variety of different methods that artists employ to achieve an artwork they are pleased with.
The twist that gives the series its entertainment factor, is the fact that the buyer remains a mystery to the artist during the initial stages of the process. The artists are only able to look round the buyer's home, before they 'pitch' their ideas for an artwork. In effect, the artist makes their own interpretation of the intimate facets of a buyer via their personal possessions - finding out what they value in life, and what they love.
This is the first time that a channel has invested in a series about living artists, with in-depth detail about how they make their art.
