Archaeology of Urban Time: Drawing Dalston Part 2, 2009 - 2011
With a six month extension to my role as artist in residence on the Dalston Square construction site, I began to work on a larger scale. When new residents Ben and Jane Collins moved into a flat on the 17th floor, a space I'd drawn within during the construction phase, they invited me into their home to draw, commissioning me to make further drawings within their freshly completed living spaces.
The drawings are records of my encounters with transforming spaces. They chart the shifting relationship between building and city, the changing nature of the space as the tower block evolved through time and the emergence of domesticity, perched upon layers of raw construction.
A selection of these drawings were exhibited in a solo show, ‘Archaeology of Urban Time’ at the Museum of the Home, London (2011). Read a review of the show in Hackney Citizen here .
