About Bexley Square

Walking along Chapel St, I came across Bexley Square, the home of the stately Salford Town Hall Building and famous site of the 1931 workers movement demonstration.

I was naturally drawn in by the linear forms and blocks of colour observed on a Saturday when all the shutters were down. I was compelled to revisit the site on a weekday to witness the transformations in the shop fronts when the shutters were open again. These repetitive sequences of linear format have provided inspiration for this series of prints. 

In my practice, the recorded narrative is abstracted and often pieced together to form final compositions. I enjoy both the freedom of drawing directly onto a plate creating and building up marks using adopted processes, mono-print and etching.
