Attracting the local press was pleasing as it suggested our experimental art installation had evoked much interest during the few hours that we were trialling it out on site.

Although we were worried our installation would attract only young children, members of the public of all ages were keen to get involved. It was great to see the excitement that our installation created and the public's creativity demonstrated how a simple cardboard box can be used to enhance a very busy public space.

The final day began with a struggle to fit all of our cardboard nets into the minibus to set up and test out our installation on site, in Piccadilly Gardens.
