Many contemporary work environments rely primarily on abstract coordination—planning, discussion, and digital communication—rather than shared physical tasks.

This work introduces a collective, hands-on process that requires cooperation, sequencing, and mutual reliance. Participants engage in a shared task where progress depends on coordination rather than individual control.

The process is structured as an artwork, not a training exercise.

Its purpose is not optimisation or instruction, but the creation of a shared form through collective action. The result is not a discussion or a simulation. It is a large-scale artwork that stands because people worked together to build it.

Collective effort becomes materially visible. The outcome belongs to the group.

How It Works

Each installation is developed as a modular system that can be assembled manually without specialised skills or machinery.
Research on collaborative creativity shows that shared, manipulable structures support group problem-solving and coordination more effectively than abstract planning alone. Modular systems reduce cognitive load and allow participants to focus on interaction, sequencing, and joint action rather than individual expertise.
What this enables:
- Accessibility across roles and skill levels
- Immediate engagement through physical action
- A shared task space that supports coordination
No single participant controls completion. The structure can only be completed through coordinated action.
Studies on cooperative learning and collective creativity demonstrate that positive interdependence—where success depends on mutual reliance—strengthens group cohesion, accountability, and shared ownership. Groups perform more effectively when authority is distributed and outcomes are co-produced rather than directed.
What this enables:
- Flattened hierarchies during the build
- Shared responsibility for progress
- Psychological safety through non-competitive participation
Progress depends on coordination, timing, and shared responsibility.
The finished structure records the process that produced it.
The process is the content.
Why this matters:
Peer-reviewed research on participatory arts and group creative processes shows that visible shared outcomes reinforce social cohesion, trust, and collective identity. When effort becomes materially visible, groups retain a stronger sense of contribution and meaning beyond the activity itself.
What this enables:
- A tangible record of collaboration
- Reinforcement of shared effort and coordination
- Outcomes that belong to the group, not the facilitator

Ways to Work Together

Each engagement is structured to match how much involvement, support, and customisation your organisation requires. All options result in a serious, long-term artwork—the difference lies in process ownership, risk profile, and cultural depth.

License a Modular Installation

Commissioned Artwork

Best for Cultural activation, headquarter lobbies, values-led environments

What you receive A bespoke artwork co-developed with the organisation

Level of involvement Conceptual participation + light hand-work

ART PRACTICE

The practice centres on temporary structures, public gathering, and collective assembly.

Works take place across landscapes and architectures—
fields, courtyards, buildings, lobbies.

There is no fixed audience position.
No separation between maker and participant.

People arrive as individuals.
They take part in the making.
They leave having built something together.

The structure stands briefly.
It holds bodies, movement, and attention.
It is not preserved.

Participation is the work.

Some works are commissioned for specific sites, including public buildings and interior gathering spaces.

Sierra is a designer and artist working with large-scale modular installation systems assembled through collective action. Her practice treats participation as structural: the process of assembly carries as much significance as the completed form.

Each installation is composed of modular components designed for manual assembly. No specialised skills are required. Designs are distributed digitally, enabling local fabrication and construction across diverse contexts.

The installation does not arrive as a finished object. It comes into being through collective action. Groups assemble the structure in public or organisational settings, transforming coordinated effort into a temporary landmark shaped by its site and participants. While the system remains consistent, each build is distinct.

By providing a clear framework rather than a completed form, large-scale art installation becomes possible anywhere. The work endures not through authorship, but through the collective process that brings it into existence.

“A replicable large-scale structure, made different each time by the people who build it”

“Their attention to detail and commitment” to quality truly stood out. We’ve already recommended them to others.”

— Dr. Cooper Smout (Open Heart and Mind)

“There was no performance, no instruction. People simply began working together. The artwork held that moment, truly engaging.”

— Robin Ouzunoff

“The work changed how people related to the space. It wasn’t something to look at—it was something to take part in. The process mattered as much as what stood at the end.”

— Jack Hauritz
