Coal shadow

Coal dust shadow drawing 'cast' from redundant chute. Part of the Street intervention series 'Worn down urban features and everyday street furniture' We carve and recarve the earth to suit our needs with streets, signage, fences and more, with time the elements and our repeated usage reshape these spaces into more organic forms, as frosts nibbles the road and moss and fag butts fill the gaps.
