installation > when place is bloated because it drinks the world

this is my first body of work produced during my MFA at Goldsmiths, University of London. I used this work to think through the materials and histories that have been most striking to me in Deptford, the area of London in which I am working. I also use this work to think through my own relationship to this place and to try to situate myself in this environment.
