When artist Keith Harrison was awarded a major commission as a part of the 2016 edition of Jerwood Open Forest, he developed Joyride, a community-focused live event that brought together personal and social narratives around the automotive industry in the West Midlands.

As the projects principal contractor, we worked closely with Keith and engineering experts to realise his artistic vision of releasing a life-sized clay replica of a Rover 75 down a temporary, 10-metre high ramp.
