Concrete, Flesh and Water (2022)
I conducted a 2 day project exploring the urban and natural architecture of Thamesmead on 31st May and 1st June. I was fascinated by the brutalist architecture and how it co-exists with the landscape and organic forms found on the outskirt of Thamesmead.
I engaged with young people and invited them to visually explore their neighbourhood through my portable mirror sculptures.
I also asked them to walk with me and some accompanied me on part of the journey.
My most moving encounter was when I was exploring the basketball court, known as 'the cage'. One of the young people decided to be my guide and helped me document 'the court'.
​​
This project concluded by installing a solo exhibition followed by facilitating a workshop for young residents of the travelling community based in Thamesmead. ​​
