Artists Carrie Phoenix and Kasia Posen form the collective The Third Person; a collaborative venture that explores identity and sense of place.

The Third Person creates something unique that neither artist can produce alone, and is often in collaboration with a third entity, such as a location, community, another creative practitioner or scientist.

Most recently, The Third Person have partnered with Suffolk Artlink and First Light Festival to deliver a 2.5yr project in Kirkley, Lowestoft.

Through a series of regular workshops at a Food Bank and collaborative installations, The Third Person has explored Kirkley's identity through its flora and fauna and community perspectives, culminating in the development of a new community garden at the food bank.

During First Light Festival 2021 and 2022, The Third Person has collaborated with Casson and Friends, dance company and Professor Brian Reid, Soil Scientist to share the work with broader audiences.

In addition to this, two multi-functional edible planters have been installed in the community and two foraging guides have been created to showcase Kirkley's green spaces, architectural assets and sensory opportunities. One guide is an accessible guide for those who are visually impaired or struggle with longer distances.

Forage guides can be found on Suffolk Artlink's website here: https://www.suffolkartlink.org.uk/sessions/kirkley-map/
