The Fluidity of Public Space

A1 handmade limited edition screenprints from the body of work ‘Recording Movement and Spatial Disruption – 5 Walks in Millennium Square, 2018’. 

This body of work is based on five walks in Leeds Millennium Square during various public events (festivals, concerts) in 2018. Each walk followed a similar route around and across the Square. However, each event creates different areas where the space is no longer accessible to the public, a disruption to public space. Each walk was tracked using GPS data, and the resulting patterns created by the walks were used to create two series of screenprints and some 3D work.

These large screenprints was produced to show the changing routes of the walks. They are map-like, each layer representing a different walking route, and present a visual representation of how access to the space is changing.
