A sculpture by young people from the Aberdeen Foyer
Artwork by young people at Sorted Not Screwed Up, Aberdeen Foyer
Winning Piece
“This piece was created by several Foyer tenants (16-25 year olds).
The background images were created in the first of the art workshops and doing this enabled the young people to relax and familiarise themselves with the materials.
The figures in the piece are life-size cardboard cut-outs of some of the tenants who took part in creating the installation.
There are also images of two of the Foyer tenants’ children, which symbolise the future.
The young people then placed all the figures, signs and images together in a way which was meaningful to them.
The more you look, the more things are revealed that are symbolic of these individuals’ journey through Aberdeen Foyer.”
