Heygate Estate Cross Stitch - NowHere

Every day into work last year, I'd pass the Heygate Estate when my train went through Elephant and Castle. From the train platform you could see the bordered up, empty estate and I'd always glance across at 'Now' 'Here' sprayed across two top bits. I've never been in there but it's somewhere I've past on the bus, train and whilst walking for the past eight years. This estate is due to be torn down and replaced by a New Heygate and questions have been asked about what percentage of the new building will be social housing.

Progress In Work III - Good Stories

On the 5th, 6th and 7th of April I will be participating in 'Progress in Work III' at Utrophia in Deptford with Tim Spooner and Stephen Fowler.

I'm looking for 'good stories' of Deptford to build up a collection, written and scribbled. I will be creating embroideries inspired by these stories. If you would like to participate and live in Deptford or have a link to it, please send me an email and I can forward you a template to print out, write and draw on.

I'll be updating this blog with more on details on the residency and glimpses of what I'm sent in

The Great Outdoors Postcard

Heygate Ladies. Drop me a line if you want a print of this to colour in.

The Great Outdoors - Embroideries

1. Heygate Ladies

2. Coldharbour Lane

3. Wendy

These are the three embroideries I created for 'The Great Outdoors' exhibition. I took walks and bus journeys around where I was living in Camberwell, photographing people and then making drawings of them. I wanted to capture quiet moments of ‘The Great Outdoors’ in an urban environment. There’s a lot going on, people going to East Street market, waiting for the 185 to Victoria, trying to avoid male harassment in the street or bumping into an old friend. I documented the hustle and bustle of Walworth Road, the area around Camberwell Green and Coldharbour Lane on my walk home to Southwell Road. I have created three embroideries, one from each of these journeys.

The Great Outdoors - Pictures

Here are a few pictures of my work installed at Nest Gallery's 'The Great Outdoors' exhibition at the Department of Coffee and Social Affairs on Leather Lane which closed this weekend.
