Autonomous Grace
(Autonomous Grace is an exhibition of work that concerns the social and psychological responses to the changing fabric of a city. Focussing on the civic centre’s protected yet discretely changing interior, it examines the effect that architectural design through elements such as light, space and materials, can have on our mood and behaviour.
As our cities yield to both the predictability and uncertainty associated with privately owned and conditioned public spaces, the work presents the viewer with an evolving set of issues to consider, in regards to purpose and preservation. It also raises questions about our public lives and the spaces we want to inhabit)
