Back in October I chose Golden Lane as the subject for the ‘City Surfaces’ brief. One of the finest public architectural spaces of 1950s Britain, this Council Estate is now home to 1,500 people in central London. I am fascinated by the primary colours and the idealism and hope of Post War community living (there is a public swimming pool, tennis court and gym, nursery and even an Art gallery). I want to live there so much!.
‘The Truth is Concrete’ is a series of hand printed A2 posters using a variety of printmaking techniques and materials. I’m now in the process of designing a book form using the images.
