After 10 years of having this in my head, my practice is taking a step back to move forward!!
Buildings.
The urban format of buildings, there underlying truths and histories, and ‘grotty’ presence and importance is simply fascinating. They can be painted, highlighted with commercial presence, yet remain the same, under new identities but leave a trail untouched unless destructed by those who want to change for there own self greed.
Yet what walks past, the continuous flow of generations of people, what makes them stand alone as specific importance and innocent strands creatively is vast yet so very judged. I want the untouched next to the touched; the importance of what makes a generation special, what can influence these structures, and how it affects the future.
I use children mainly to highlight these surroundings, as we all grow in these vast areas that seem so unimportant, until we age, and view our own past, filling it with nostalgic importance. It’s what shapes us, like territorial markings of where we have been, and what we have seen.
