Urban Islands



In order to make a response to the uncertainty of our urban surroundings, I'm exploring how it's possible to create imaginary island situations within actual urban places. By a repetitive action of returning and reinterpreting, possibilities arise for recurring and overlapping realities to be found in particular places with island characteristics and geographies. 

A series of ISLAND TOURs are being undertaken in Nottingham City Centre, concentrating upon an area defined by a circular road system and bordering the Broadmarsh shopping centre and the bus station. The area is owned by Capital Shopping Centres and over the past 10 years has been subject to various planning applications to demolish it and transform it by connecting it to the "mainland" by means of a streamlined shopping centre.
