Dalston construction 2008-11 200 drawings chart the transformation of Dalston, London. The area's innards are being laid bare. I have spent 3 years drawing the upheaval: from the street, within the vast Dalston Square building site as artist in residence, and now (2011), with a new commission, from within one of the completed flats. An entirely new series of spaces began to materialize: the interior of the construction site seemed to run at a different time scale to the rest of the city, revealing a condensed, compressed version of the life cycle of spaces evolving over a longer time span throughout the city as a whole. |
