Urban Structures

The installation relates to the 'The Centre', a shopping and housing development built during the 1960s, at the upper end of the High Street in Margate. The ratchet straps indicate the force required to hold the 'urban structures' together and presents the elements of the surroundings including the concrete, plastic facades and geometric lines of the shopping and housing development. 
Katya came back Margate to make and install the work.

'Urban Structures' exhibition is supported by The Margate School and the Coastal Community Fund as part of the High Street visualisation objective which aims to bring additional footfall to the High Street as well as linking the Margate creative community to the town centre. 
 
'Urban Structures' solo show at Unit 16 in Margate, England.
4 - 28 June 2019

Structure 2 + 3 nominated for the Blooom Award by Warsteiner 2019.
