Tiz Creel
The Deptford Quest
Tiz Creel’s work is focussed on designing opportunities for people to play and explore in order to encourage new and positive social interactions. For Deptford X 2019 Creel has created The Deptford Quest, a participatory game that leads visitors on a fantastical journey through Deptford via a series of clues and instructions on vinyl floor stickers placed on pavements—from the emblematic anchor at the top of Deptford High Street to the New Market Yard. The game begins at Deptford X Gallery where Creel has made a colourful sculptural assemblage that is available for visitors to enter and explore.
Tiz Creel comes from the megalopolis of Mexico City, epitomised as chaotic, surreal and unique. This background informs her artistic practice which is heavily influenced by concepts of play, participation, spontaneity and gaming including forms of free-play, Larping (live action role play), videogames, board games, playgrounds and more.
The Deptford Quest is a Deptford X commission.
