When Whispers Become Rumours was a work made for The Cut - a project commissioned by SPACE - to create new works in response to stories and memories collected by oral historians from people who live / work in The Cut, an area of Hackney Wick, London.

I worked with pupils at Gainsborough School, to Chinese Whisper memories about the school. The original and the 'whispered' version were then painted by each pupil on to board and these boards were displayed at ViewTube, the Olympic viewing platform overlooking the Olympic stadium during the summer of 2011
