Making Space Artist Residency, London, UK 2022

It’s a Lovely Day Tomorrow' is a sound and drawing installation created during my residency at Aberfeldy Village, Poplar in 2022. Drawing on the layered history of the area, the work weaves together archival and cinematic images of the past with the memories of locals and my own personal connections to the streets and spaces of London. My process is one of excavation and reinvention — rifling through fragments of history and re-appropriating them to create new narratives, reframed within the context of the present. The result is a dialogue between then and now, between collective memory and individual experience.

Sound Installation which accompany the drawings. 20minutes 30 seconds. Music by: Sairie (Emma Morton & Jon Griffin)
