Rocket Workshop with Marley Dawson

A narrow light filled room with rubber matting on the floor. A child is crawling out of a section of hollow tree. The section of tree is suspended in a framework of galvanized steel pipes that fill the space. the frame is reminiscent of 1980's style jungle gym playground equipment. The room is white with a large arched window in the background. The walls have 10 roughly painted coloured lines, reds, blues, yellow and green, that run down the lower length of the right-hand side wall, up and around the window in the background and back along the upper side of left-hand wall.
