A Thamesmead Hoarding

A photographic collage of The Moorings, Thamesmead Stage 3 as new hoarding in front of the Moorings Social Club for the duration of its

refurbishment.

As a culmination of artist in residence period with Peabody in Thamesmead and ongoing role as artist on the Design Team for the re-opening of the former social club, a staged photograph showing all of the life and people within the community that I had been working with for the previous four years. Every person and group was photographed individually, at their home or workplace, and then photo collaged into the space, The Great Hall, which is directly behind the hoarding. As a way to subvert usual regeneration hoardings that sell a lifestyle, this communicates a portait of what is, and could be, when the building opens. Photographed with some of the residents and collaborators, socially distanced in 2020.
