THE SOUTHEND CITY SOURCEBOOK

Chapter 3: Chromatopia

The Southend City Sourcebook is an ongoing project to sketch and hand-stitch the overlooked quirks of our local architecture.

Slowly embroidered artworks are presented as the long lost pages of an imagined, rediscovered book. I love the idea that these fragments of our built environment are like the individual ingredients you’d need to remake these places, or if you jumbled them together, you could build something else entirely.

This third chapter of the project will be an exploration of the depth and detail of colour in the local vernacular.

​

The work will be on show at Dressmaker Fabrics, Saturday 6th to 14th July 2024.

More details and opening times on the Leigh Art Trail website.
