Initial Ideas

 Areas of interest for me are the town, the viaduct- industry- routes of industry- maps- as a structure.

the structures of certain building in the town- the contrast with industry and whats left behind- cash converters and gambling places, closed down bingo hall.


neglected structure with the structure of nature- re wilding of areas


approaches- collage/ mixed media including lino print, sewing/ textile with illustration/ paint.

clothing with repeat print/ structure. maps hand stitched.

Take clay imprints from the bricks at the viaduct ( they all have place names on them) 

Clay imprints from other areas of viaduct. 

Cast together to create a structure/ sculpture


Quick sketches I made in the museum during my visit of women who feature in the exhibits

layering area map over other linked visuals/ industry based.

Initial idea notes from first visit

Structure; dictionary definition

graphite rubbings taken in local church yard

visual layering of areas of interest. (lace/ maps/ viaduct)


Map of local area, canals and viaduct. I like the marks on this and could lift the lines to create an abstract image

A quick sketch of the viaduct over a lace print. layering of ideas
