Bradford, amazing people, empty shops and loads of stories what more could a girl need!

Thanks to Ruth Fettis and Fabric (an art group managing empty properties in Bradford) I have been given a shop in the centre of town to use as a workshop while I'm here! Me and Ruth and Rusty Nut have got our work 'Tales of a Forgotten City', a piece of work about the empty buildings and the people of Bradford in the window for the next 9 months. It went up yesterday and still needs some tweaking but so far the response is great! I will take residency in the shop over the next week and create more work about the community.

The Shop

 The Installation so far...

Ideas for work... Me and Ruth have began creating a piece of work about Ruth's local pub The Peel Park. It has recently been shut down and locals have built a shelter in the back that they are using as their pub.

We are going to add this story into the city.

I am researching a couple of other ideas to create work about here including the downsizing of central library and peel papers which friends and locals Evie and Abi have been filling me in about, so watch this space!
