A small group of young people have taken over and engineered a derelict area next to the studio to suit their skateboarding practice.
I've seen them in the space from a distance, and kept meaning to explore when they weren't around... I got my chance last week, and relished walking around the structures they've created. Their building materials are basic, weathered, scattered and they have utilised rubble piles and concrete surface to great effect. The experience was no different to viewing sculpture in a carefully curated space and bought to mind artist friends who would have enjoyed this solo preview.
This intervention is (of course) done without permission. Even so, I carried a sense of trespass in their space, and felt as if I was breaking a rule!
