blackwell street

installation
firstdraft, sydney, august 2015

'whatever the context, the weather at that moment, what suburb, what street, what unfamiliar turn you took to reach it. the memory is flicked like a switch. the house is all surfaces, flimsy façades. a breath flies in one window and out the other. in a space of permanent transience, we find a partial inventory: shreds of pigment, forgotten slogans, the dust of ages, dangling wiring now defunct.' - madeleine stack
