Panmure St Ann’s art project

Oct 2019-March 2020. Came to a halt due to Covid 19

An art project working with people experiencing homelesness in Edinburgh. Working in partnership with Streetwork and the Salvation Army in central Edinburgh through a series of drop-in art workshops.

The project was linked to the refurbishment of Panmure St Ann’s school in Edinburgh into a place to house all the services working with people experiencing homelessness and housing issues, such as social work, NHS and housing.

7N Architects | Visual Collaboration
A collaboration with 7N architects based in Edinburgh who were working on the urban regeneration of an area of Inverkeithing, Fife. Their new designs were exhibited in juxtaposition with photographs that I had taken off the same area in 1989, in my first year at art college. These images were exhibited at the Royal Scottish Academy (Architects), Edinburgh 2018.
Everything in these images has now been knocked down and rebuilt.
