North Cabin Project, Redcliffe Bridge, Bristol.
I began researching the history of Redcliffe Bridge and the surrounding area discovering that the bridge was built at the outbreak of the Second World War and survived whilst the rest of Bristol was heavily bombed. From this initial research I went on to write a short piece of prose (Inherent Sin) that formed the backbone of the project, expanding into the physical installation inside the cabin: the more I contemplated the cabin, the bridge, and the dark murky waters below; the more it conjured up thoughts of intrigue, suspense and mystery. My aim was to introduce a sense of theatre into the space, whilst at the same time explore its historical context and its relationship to the surrounding landscape.
