Dirty Laundry Architecture

The Ground is Talking to Us

An exhibition of individual and collaborative projects consisting of mixed media models, original drawings and photography – projects were re-visited, re-framed and curated as a recursive examination of twenty years of collaborative practice.

The collection consists of architectural fragments and apertures – moments are mirrored, shifted and skewed. The origin of reflective practice manifest in drawing as exchange and exhibition as dialogue.
