In-Between
The city is always in-between; constantly changing and coming into being. My practice takes place in this condition, considering how we can act within and upon the places we inhabit.

The project is a series of actions taken in Cambridge’s ‘Areas of Major Change’. Each uses anti-climb fences in alternative ways. The first two were conducted out-of-hours on a construction site: turning a fence on its side and suspending it using rope and blocks.
The second two happened near the Grafton Centre. First, a fence was walked across a road, leading to a meeting with a family that would never have taken place otherwise. The fence was moved to a site which was once houses and will soon be a hotel. I gathered my friends and we suspended the fence from the edges of the site. It stayed there for a few weeks before someone untied it and threw it over the boundary. There is no single author to this work.
These actions are more about how people come together than any architectural object which might result. Mainly they’re looking for connection and humanity where it seems it can’t be found.
