Beyond the Iron Curtain
Much of the research and reading I have been doing lately, has come up with similar terms, encouraging me to think further about the direction of my practice. Images of raw materials, concrete, undecorated walls, demolition sites etc.
Artifacts as Art?
I attended the Slave Trade exhibition at Lancaster’s central museum this afternoon. I have always been interested in 18th and 19th century history, but was particularly drawn to the artifacts that had been recovered and preserved.
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.
