This drawing is of sections through the Kingsland basin and the adjacent industrial wharf, and seeks to reveal through sectioning the mesh of information within the canal.
Information in the form of materials and elements, which could be attached to a history of the canal.
It is these elements that I wish to collect in the Library’s Archive.
The elements are drawn as crystallized forms, imagined frozen in the Archive. The crystals are of Hay, Limestone, Clay, Iron, Manure, Brick, sourced from the uses of the former wharves and warehouses.
The crystals represent residues of building and industry, and seek to create a new method of building technology.
