The Street Abbreviated, 2010
Guithavon Bridge, Witham, Essex


Grit blasted design onto concrete bridge parapets

Artwork featured on the exterior walls of bridge overlooking the River Brain.
 Newland Street has a rich variety of historically interesting buildings scattered along its length interspersed with modern shop units and concrete office structures. The artwork takes a small selection of these historic buildings and re-creates an abbreviated street, condensing centuries of histories and evoking a refreshed curiosity in these now displaced buildings.

She also works as a curator and designer with clients including arts organisations, local councils, BBC and Essex County Council, and is a member of The ArCists Collective designing and making resource boxes for museums and education.
