‘Rocky’ Horror Show! (Take 2)
When I visualised an opposing structure using concrete and natural wool, I was incredibly excited by the idea. I felt the interim show would be the perfect opportunity to showcase this work in progress. I didn’t quite expect the trials and tribulations of its creation though….
Exploring Raw Materials
Since being drawn to the demolition site in Warrington, I have been keen to explore the parallels with our fragmented society. To begin with, I decided to recreate a section of the building in the original image.
A Different Perspective
I found myself in Warrington, following an impromptu trip on the train. I was pleasantly surprised at the variety of independent shops and the way the shopping areas spanned out like a spider’s web, from a central undercover social area. As I sauntered through the streets, a construction site caught my eye, and I couldn’t tear myself away from a building which was in mid-demolition.
