Samovar Space, Paint on Concrete, 2022
Think Independently, Together aims to be a welcoming space for multi-generational connectivity, developed alongside young local adults whose critical feedback shaped the final visual. The intention is to create a joyful space which celebrates the diversity in the area using an eye-popping colour palette and interlocking shapes, encouraging connection and interaction after two years of isolation. The artwork draws inspiration from the map of Brent, as seen from a bird’s eye view, where playful lines collide with each other and have an almost fluid and game-like quality; the hope is for them to be literally inhabited, echoing the aims of the 'collaborate' zone in the formal public space intervention.
