Primrose Park Engine House, circa 1900 |
I've been researching former uses of the Primrose Park area, where I'm currently one of two artists sharing the studio space for six months. Interestingly, our studio is located in the basement of the former sewage works engine house.
The history of the area and remaining industrial concrete structures are pivotal to my current site-responsive works. These works will be exhibited as part of Aqua-librium 9 - 18 December 2011 at Primrose Park Gallery, Young Street, Cremorne.
