Design as an agenda and design as a means to address inequality and societal division.'- Richard Brook on foodhall's Judging in Sheffield Design Awards 2016.Idea.Foodhall is an open, public community kitchen and dining facility in the heart of Sheffield city centre, the concept was instigated as an elegant solution to some of modern societies biggest issues such as food poverty, social isolation, age imbalance, social segregation and scarcity. The project explores the new typology as comparable to the public library just as an open public place for sharing food rather than books. A space for altruism.I founded the Foodhall project with Jamie Wilde in 2015, a social enterprise focussed on creating a new kind of community space for the city. I acted as ceo of the project for seven years and grew the project from a piece of architectural theory and radial city planning into a large project with over thirteen ‘branches’ and continuous improvement, with over 12 employees.My time included Leading the entire lifecycle of the project, from business planning to delivering a day to day services, listening and developing with the feedback from the communities. I also built a system of social architecture for the space, which was rapidly changing and evolving. &nbsp;Most importantly, the agenda to genuinely listen to the points of view and understandings of the people who use the service, understanding their root needs and orientating provision towards that. Many of these people faced significant difficulty In their lives that included drug and alcohol addiction, homelessness, mental health difficulties, refugee and asylum seeking. We created a ‘non service’ which provided a general faculty and outlet, allowing arts and culture within these community, along with essential services. This reduced all stigma and led to a position of individual social liberation, and enormous benefit to those individuals. Emergent needs that really enriched the project, and all of the people within it making it very well loved as a point of social wealth. Many of my ideas have emerged and grown from my work within the project and as my work was continually engaged in public, community development with a cross section of society.&nbsp; The Arts Cancel’ - 202 <img width="2464" height="1322" width_o="2464" height_o="1322" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f107609f066c72d02f16e8d80f95272115ca7058ed04ffcb5c2a6d3af3a81bf3/Screenshot-2023-10-08-at-14.36.22.png" data-mid="193051934" border="0" alt="Long Live Southbank Undercroft restoration" data-caption="Long Live Southbank Undercroft restoration" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f107609f066c72d02f16e8d80f95272115ca7058ed04ffcb5c2a6d3af3a81bf3/Screenshot-2023-10-08-at-14.36.22.png" /> <img width="3508" height="2480" width_o="3508" height_o="2480" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/643df64b61bb51626252411f6ff304d2807392c786f3529f3209e02e9fe05508/View-from-small-banks.jpg" data-mid="124429546" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/643df64b61bb51626252411f6ff304d2807392c786f3529f3209e02e9fe05508/View-from-small-banks.jpg" /> DetailsLONG LIVE SOUTHBANK RESTORATION I was the architectural co-ordinator for long live southbank to restore the Southbank Undercroft with the skateboard community to its former state as a thoroughfare. This follows the success of long live southbank's petition as the largest in UK history. My role included performing research and producing pivitol documents for the restoration, and attending meetings with the southbank centre to successfully lobby the argument for the restoration. Aswell as creating initial architectural drawings that led to the completed restoration . The project is considered to be one of the most difficult heritage issues in the UK because of its signifigant media attention at the time, and the listing condition of the southbank centre.

The Sheffield Contemporary was a gallery invited people into the hidden space which has never been opened to the public, and allowed people to engage with the picture-house for the first time.The Sheffield Contemporary, was a progressive multimedia art gallery inside the iconic Abbeydale Picturehouse's secret fly tower space which was bolted shut for 100 years. Opening this space was a major challenge, and also allowed a real change in the narrative around the picture house as a decaying cinema into a vision for a progressive multimedia and community arts space.The gallery showcased how restoration of the picturehouse could continue; as a synergy between cultural establishment, performance and theatre space, and visual and moving image. And many of these key principals have merged with the picture-house today.The gallery in particular, kickstarted the process of taking feedback from people in the local community for the first time - and was an anchor bringing people into the space and discussion around the buildings future use. The exhibited artworks themselves seek to reframe the dialogue around the building, by asking the key question; what is Cinema today? The artwork and curatorial approach explore the subtle tension between old and new digital media as well as self-reflexivity in the arts. The themes of the exhibited work resonate with conservation of the picture house overall.The Sheffield Contemporary is now in it's second incarnation. It started as a prototype for a progressive multimedia gallery based in Sheffield's cultural industries quarter which later moved to the picture house.&nbsp; <img width="960" height="720" width_o="960" height_o="720" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d07be7ef41473f66b8d1d3440f1ae44f26bce4eac8f7eaa10160bc0897bf3997/patch-of-grass-town-hall.jpeg" data-mid="197553183" border="0" alt="Patch of Grass on wheels" data-caption="Patch of Grass on wheels" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/960/i/d07be7ef41473f66b8d1d3440f1ae44f26bce4eac8f7eaa10160bc0897bf3997/patch-of-grass-town-hall.jpeg" /> Details The patch of grass on wheels. The patch of grass on wheels is a piece of social sculpture and social architecture I made in Sheffield in 2019. It explores the philosophical question of where land ends and object begins. The legal relation between land and object is a philosophical distinction that underpins what architecture and what it is not architecture. However, all that is solid melts into a puff of smoke when you put a piece of land on wheels. I wanted to explore the logic of object and land, and the object relationships they hold by doing what mathematicians do: rearranging an equation to see if it makes sense. Proving it to be wrong through QED. The patch of grass seems jovial and quite absurd. But at the root of it, the patch of grass explodes something inherently illogical about our concepts of land. In particular, it explores the connections and relations. By putting what is traditionally understood as ‘land’ on some wheels, we begin to realise that what we define as ‘land’ is actually not land at all, rather a hyper-object of ownership logics and social preconditions. A form of the virtual object in the psyche of multiple parties interacting with one another.&nbsp; We can start to rethink the logic of the extension we use to define concepts of ownership.&nbsp; So the absurdity of the patch of grass is actually the absurdity of our land and housing logic. This brings us to the conclusion that all land is virtual. But within this knowledge, the connection between what is physical and what is virtual is also confusing. If the land is virtual then why are the limits of ownership physical? Or why is the root-tree system of logic still the system of logic we use? The logic of connection. So a patch of grass is an absurdity within an absurd construct. The satirical architecture is simultaneously an object, and simultaneously land. It promotes change in what we understand as ownership.&nbsp; The patch of grass therefore allowed discussions around new ideas in the land and housing justice, in different contexts. One day we wheeled the patch of grass to the Town Hall and had discussions on it. We provided a stage-like platform for land conversations outside of the hall and hosted several performances, these included protests, concerts, and ceremonies.

The framework was designed by Myself, Chloe Mcarey Carne, and Dora Dixon. We had 16 participants to pool ideas surrounding Nida’s conservationist identity issues. The question: How do we tackle the difficult conservation issues that Nida faces? Artists and architects were are invited to contribute to the staircase by making a square which conceptualised a snapshot of a potential future for Nida. This involved a workshop process where we worked with designers to understand local level issues, design and co-build the interventions. In total there were 16 squares with designers from over ten nationalities. 
The project started when we were given the opportunity to explore the small holiday town during an ITM. We took the time to speak to locals over a week long period, this revealed that Lithuanians have a very real and shared cross generational trauma. Fragmented understanding architecture and culture, and are struggling to orientate what is next for them. Lithuania’s culture experienced violence and economic marginalisation during the Soviet Union. And after its fall, many of these issues still haunt the collective memory. As a response the holiday town of NIDA reacted with preservationism. The Unesco protection of NIDA meant different, fractured and disconnected authorities were given full responsibility to preserving different parts. For example: The Tree authorities want to preserve trees. Sand dune authorises to preserve dunes. The Local authorities want to preserve a single image of architecture. This all becomes more confused when wrapped in a UNESCO heritage package as it is not clear what each constituent is intended to preserve. it is unclear, but the locals feel it is ‘mans relationship with nature.’ That is to be preserved, no single aspect. Nida’s economy relied on being a holiday resort for Russian tourists. Shifting ties with Russia meant losing a key economic position within the global economy. The split turned a unique landform into two distinct geopolitical zones with affected communities. As a result they created a reactionary heritage culture. The material aesthetic of the Soviet Era architecture came to represent scar tissue to natives. Most were keen to differentiate nada from it’s recent past, which it hated. A sort of fishing village holiday resort image formed and space for escape. But from a psychoanalytic perspective Nida had a larger relationship with the rest of the country. It became a kind of dreamland, a collective representation of escape, So Nida is not just a holiday resort, it is this vision of Lithuania’s escapism. A position of safety. Today NIDA’s buildings resemble a gnome like painting of a distant forgotten past - something which it has rediscovered. However the physical reality of this exterior is sadly a facade, and much of this past never truly existed, at least not in the way it is presented - layers of humble stained timber cover the concrete caucus underneath. The image of Soviets concrete symbolise the tragedies of the era, Lithuanians in Nida also think yellow brickwork is considered to epitomise ‘ugliness’ and poor quality, and concrete similarly.Realising this we sought to provide an outlet for an important discussion.
The Next step was a proposal for a framework for cultural reinterpretation in this wider psychological and social context. As a series of ’squares’, where each square showed a potential direction for Nida, and a way in which the immense heritage issues could be overcome.We decided there needed to be structure that gave an opening to the imagination for a new future of NIDA. Envisaging that the process of reimagining could be one of collective social healing - where discussion becomes more important than the built form alone. When Nida is a small town stuck in the past because it feels safe here - but what about a future of nida? What about the future of Lithuania?
The starcase deconstructed and reconstructing desires of the people. For example, one piece by Mara showed an empty and isolated soviet era bus stop, a place of waiting without necessarily anything to wait for. Another showed a giant moss tower, a dialogue about daring and boldness in contemporary materials, which might form the basis for a different spirit of place overall. As the staircase was at the boarder between Russia and Lithuania local politicians and shopkeepers engaged with discussions around the piece extensively. 

As a finished piece It was also well loved by children who enjoyed playing on all of the different parts of the staircase.

I proposed a work shop in august 2019 to take eighteen talented artists and dig a super large hole for two weeks in the luxury resort of Villars Sur Orllon in a Swiss Alps. A mountain resort for the super rich. The workshop started as a meme proposal but quickly became a cult sensation. Leading me to realise the ludacris piece of work proposed. The peice was accompanied by popular internet content, such as ring tones, a four track musical, a tshirt series and ficticious publications in Dezeen and other leading architecture magazines. The Diggy hole probed discussion around the processes of exploitation in architecture as a field. What this means the profession. A theatrical piece at the scale of landscape art, the process was played out as a constructed situation. Acting out the processes of architectural production in a two week long digging performance. A commentary on the large architectural office, where workers are frequently overworked and unpaid. In a post automation economy, where a just under half of all jobs are speculated to be 'bullshit jobs' and another half of jobs are projected to become automated by 2050. The diggy hole exposes the new future that is emerging; where the workplace only functions to maintain hierarchies or affirm social or labor relations - and does not exist to satisfy need. In particular, much of the labor system is to focus is on the social reproduction of inequality. 

The future is already here in the field of architecture, where a single competition can attract a thousand applications, absorb several years of collective labor, yet we build nothing - as this is just an immense display of power for egotistical politicians who want nothing but spectacle. Creating a scarcity for novelty, despite an abundance of work being performed. 

Despite this regular expression of power by politicians and developers, there is a desperate shortage of well designed housing and thoughtful civic facilities. The speculation around architecture increases as a market commodity, yet genuinely beneficial architectural production stagnates. The diggy hole paints a hyper reality where architecture and society moves beyond material production towards social reproduction alone.Our potential to affect change in the physical world becomes less plausible. The image of a pointless hole in an empty wasteland to perpetuate repression becomes a more realistic representation of human life.The symbolic value being at the top of a mountain, in a luxury resort for billionaires, yet going out of our way to only dig a hole was also symbolic. Architecture’s root value is arguably as a status symbol. With over 74% of all people in architecture being from a place of privilege. The hybrid pathway of expensive education, unpaid internship; the nepotistic first job, the low paid job at the superstar firm. Are all structures that help the wealthy beat competition. As such, architecture is something you pay to do.
 To take the analogy further, the result is somewhat like a hole: where the city we live in is formed by the social reproduction of a single demographic living ideal life culture - those that can afford to intern for free create our architecture, just as those who can afford to volunteer create our public services and go on to influence our politics and so on. 

But diggy hole being on an enormous mountain also points to a larger more painful truth: architecture is not only the purchasing of status, it is the purchased and lived experience of severe hardship - in particular for the privileged. Like a pain fetish, In architecture there are relentless displays of hard work, long working hours, all nighters for seemingly inconsequential reasons. Competition structures waste countless hours of energy, the produce of architecture being ‘paper architecture’. But this opression in the context of immense privilege has a wider economic value as it can not only be used as a talking point validate the oppression others in the future, many of whom will be less privileges, but importantly it leads struggle leads to a heightened sense of friendship and purpose for those involved. People in architecture ‘bond over suffering’ In this way. The Diggy hole explores how architecture doesn’t just serve a status function, more often than not it serves a valuable social function - as system which allows deep friendships, and affiliations within groups to emerge - deep friendships are impossible without shared struggle. 

Something innately positive about hardship is the depth of relationships are stronger - yet when there is no hardship this function needs to be made artificially.Diggy hole main point is that it maintains that entire architecture professions tone is determined by a single function. Not the function it advertises to the outside world, building buildings, rather Architecture is the social reproduction of social relations mediated by activity of producing architecture. In most instances there is little to no real plausible agenda to lead to the production of architecture in any real sense. This truth is likely the reason 98% of buildings in the u.k are designed by non architects.The diggy Hole explores this in a rare and unique luxury setting in the Swiss alps.

I worked with the city of sanctuary to help reprogram and redesign their spaces. The aim of the sanctuary is to create a safe space for refugees and asylum seekers. I used a social architecture process developed in my work with the Foodhall Project to design and create a new layout as they responded to the needs of the refugees who use it.

The process was developed with a new form of agile development for architecture. This is in contrast to waterfall method of delivery, each intervention was created piece by piece, and was launched as often in relation to the needs they had. This meant the interventions are more rooted in requirements but also meant requirements allowed changes to be reflected and tested on, creating a potential for iterative and organic growth of the project.

The cutting files allow for the furniture and forms to be replicated in other projects within the city of sanctuary framework.This project is ongoing and we are still developing the city of sanctuary. <img width="1500" height="1125" width_o="1500" height_o="1125" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/45ad98af7ed88f962817c5a685b39f29513ce352fe1497fa9b6760c0db2923bf/stagehands.jpg" data-mid="193052188" border="0" alt="Stagehands (Studio Polpo)" data-caption="Stagehands (Studio Polpo)" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/45ad98af7ed88f962817c5a685b39f29513ce352fe1497fa9b6760c0db2923bf/stagehands.jpg" /> <img width="1500" height="1750" width_o="1500" height_o="1750" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d62546231a6103d3f7c8412278a52fda001ac0e4f7f8897ef0300b93f0af4238/National-food-service.jpg" data-mid="193052187" border="0" alt="The National Food Service" data-caption="The National Food Service" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d62546231a6103d3f7c8412278a52fda001ac0e4f7f8897ef0300b93f0af4238/National-food-service.jpg" /> DetailsThe National Food Service"Eating together is probably the most important way we build friendships. So a National Food Service would do more for our collective happiness and wellbeing, not to mention our health, than anything else we might think of doing." - Robin Dunbar, Evolutionary Psychologist at the University of Oxford. Discoverer of the Dunbar number.The National Food Service is an idea for a public system emerging from a network of social eating spaces across the UK. The goal is to enable social eating spaces to better interrelate, tackle common issues as a unified body, and provide a collaborative, inclusive welfare system for all.In 2017 I coined the term National Food Service, when in conversation with Marsha Smith. To accompany this i developed a campaign ‘i’m creating a National Food Service’, In 2018. To simplify the complicated topics and ideas i created a handbook and guide. I developed a platform for festival of the mind 2018, and created a lot of publicity around this. The way to promote the cause in the early stages was using a method of conference based growth, I then traveled extensively to promote this, gave talks across the country in community spaces and in conferences. And developed ideas around the the National Food Service through website, the NFS podcast and an open journal.Early inspirationMany of the ideas around the National Food Service come from my Hare Krishna upbringing, my mothers contributions to the food for life movement . My experiences in India studying Vedic culture and free food distribution. I realised this to be the void and missing piece of western civilisation.A famous Indian philosopher once said ‘Don’t build every temple, build one temple and enable others to build theirs too’ . This principal is the one that the national food service follows with a ‘start on your doorstep’ mentality, where each individual group operates locally and builds their social eating palace, connecting together. This builds on the experiments within the Real Junk Food Project and develops the legacy.Alternative forms of new public service.Being interested in how we can create alternative forms, I developed and promoted the idea for a new network ecosystem model for public services, a sort of decentralised open social co-operative model, one that removed a ‘single point of failure’ and that this could connect with other organisational structures active locally. This meant that each individual company was simply provided with pathway for knowledge sharing, and this allowed advantage for all of those involved. It stimulated a from of local level social entrapeneurialism that married with a network ecosystem for support.Connecting togetherDifferent groups can use the system within a market framework to connect as allies rather than competitors, and share knowledge and resources in the values of open source culture, and create systems of mutual aid in difficult times. This all allows them to better deliver their services at a local level. Campaign awareness raising and community buildingAs supporters and new groups joined this movement, I created material and led a promotional strategy getting the campaign into all major national newspapers. My work also Included writing parliamentary level proposals, working with MPs to write proposals that led to changes in Labour Party policy and enormous backing from groups like Momentum .Telegraph, Independent, The Guardian, Novara media, Huck Magazine, Vittles, LabourlistHandling crisis properly.This model was able to accurately predict that crisis was going to strike, but also predicts that crisis will strike more frequently as climate change and mass refugee efforts shift. Also allowed us to build a vast organisation when crisis did hit during Covid-19. It helped us share information and culture easily and quickly, leading to an enormous emergency food distribution system that fed over 100,000 people in the height of the pandemic. ContinuityThe National Food Service network is a form of steady growth. The network is still running and building piece by piece, with trial and error today with amazing and inspiring people leading it such as Louise Delmege in Bristol, and Beth Aubergine in London, and many other initiatives across the country.The Campaign is ongoing as the aim is to aggregate cross party support and develop a decentralized system of public welfare in line with the community paradigm of public service provision.

artwork is set in the space between the city of London and Liverpool Street Station. The UK is the world’s largest exporter of financial services. Today, the departure from the European Union and the rise of distributed working have put the capital’s position at risk. There is also an ongoing supranational struggle. Economies are racing for financial supremacy. Trade frictions are unfolding—&nbsp; the shadow banking sector has ballooned - bank-like activities (mainly lending) outside the traditional banking sector, beyond the eyes of regulators. The City of London sees new waves of turbulent, uncertain, novel, and ambiguous scenarios unfold almost daily. Most of the city’s activities are opaque, but the city and its people are intertwined in invisible ways. People in the UK invest daily in the City of London, most commonly in their pensions. London property prices mirror the city’s earning potential. Stocks and gilts link to these funds. Millions of interactions happen daily in the Square Mile, a small space with enormous annual economic output, amounting to a quarter of England’s GDP. In the city of London, all socioeconomic systems connect through competition; you will see the competition on the shop floor and the trading floor, from the retail bank to the Bank of England, the public houses and the pension funds, the insurance brokers, and the shadow banks. But&nbsp; Fights typically happen bureaucratically and, as such, are rarely represented. But I wanted to ask how we could visualise the complex web of ‘invisible hands’? The city prides itself on competition, so I decided to create a drawing showing a melee eruption in the streets between Liverpool Street and Bank Station,&nbsp; and the competition in the city of London's financial sector.The scene is entirely imagined andwas drawn without life models.

Today’s speculative economy is rooted in the foundations of a previous era. Flashback to 1980, and we saw the formation of Citibank: a merger between traditional finance and riskier speculative finance. From this point on, the evolution of Cheap credit and the expansion of globalisation created a discrepancy between the operating economy and the economy of value speculation. These two should never be too far apart. The image is a summarization of the social and economic fabric. Above the clouds you see a levitated celestial fight scene unfolding around a floating Citibank and J.P. Morgan. Suspended in mid-air, like a spaceship. The fight begins to spill over to earth and explodes between unsuspecting high-street retailers enjoying the fashion district. As chaos unfolds, the left-hand side of the image shows the media reporting the scene; the reporter is none other than Peter Ohanrahahanrahan (from the 1990s popular comedy Brass Eye), who promptly tells the unsuspecting public misinformation that the financial inequality is because of some ‘other’ or ‘bogeymen’ - particularly those seeking refuge from war. Without critical thinking skills being taught in schools, the public just believe it at face value. Today, the issues within the financial system are getting worse. With politicians exploiting the information discrepancy to avoid the root, systemic issues. spreading misinformation about the nature of the economics to capitalize themselves. The line between lie and reality becomes more blurred. Digital media becomes more centralized. The use of AI and bots creates complex perception ‘nudges’ over time as a system of multi level marketing.

Doomscroll depicts an ongoing psychological battle between machine learning and humankind. Many leading technology experts believe that the next five years will completely decimate white-collar jobs. The rapid advancements of machine learning are already becoming visible. The artwork touches on how gambling algorithms are engineered into social media design, The rise of formulaic artworks because of these pressures. The evolution of engagement farming culture.It explores symbolism and lost culture, Etruscan, The bayeux tapestry in Normandy. Heterotopias in modern italy and today's animal crossing are linked as “low probability connections’&nbsp; essential to human understanding storytelling. The artwork concludes with references to Gödels theorem - how the logics for theoretical physics will in turn illuminate new paths for thinking about the arts.

It observes how social structures transform art from an image to a speculative commodity in the world's third-largest art market.The bottom of the image shows the evolution of visual language as a relationship with trade and industrial history, which is distinctive to the place. The armoury trade, the printing press, the shipping and mercantile industry, and the lending industry are all shown in the Royal Academy of Arts and the Frieze Art Fair is shown as contextual and historical forces. Above this, multiple artists are seen battling to pass several layers of social consensus as they aim for their art to become an asset in the free market. The interior designers, who make up eighty per cent of today's collectors, are shown holding different dollhouses, convincing artists to make the equivalent of wallpaper. The educated collector from the previous generation is seen as a ghost, looking over in great sadness. Above them is Deutchebank, the world's most prominent institutional collector of art, representing artwork as a financial instrument, and behind them is Geneva Freeport, an art storage facility. To the right-hand side of the image, an asteroid belt of central London's galleries is depicted as award vendors. Providing endless filtering and intermediation of creativity. Award makers like mall galleries appear as Daleks, vaporising the confidence of artists so they become demoralised and work in corporate carriers like PWC, Goldman Sachs, or Deloitte instead. One man is saved from this through a twist of fortune, being baptised by an astronomical rise to fame because of timing and interest rates rise in the capital markets. Meanwhile, some of his peers are ruthlessly beaten down by the same market a year later without any real logic they understand. Floating artists fall from the sky as they try to navigate the plethora of educational institutions, providing validation in exchange for capital: but in the institutions, there is pressure to use projection tracing to skip the learning process, skip learning with basic copied abstraction, and others skip learning with naive work; the choice is shown like a decision between three starter Pokémon as ways to avoid the hard road of learning. Alongside this, two of the three artists are shown to be supported by their uncle, and the uncle kicks the third down. Showing how art, once a nameless profession but one fairly paid has morphed&nbsp; into a named profession that’s unfairly paid leading to a lack of labour negotiation overall. Images are shown to&nbsp; be valued incorrectly by galleries who intentionally misunderstand neoclassical economic logic in order to maintain social credence - proposing the value ascribed to the material basis of paint. Factories are seen making paintings alongside them. Hidden in the crowd is the 19th-century British economist Gabriel Tarde, who is at his desk with a lion, a reference to Saint Jerome, neither Adam Smith nor Marx.Tarde contributes an anthropological ground to the discourse of economics which has been widely overlooked: writing that integral value is based on beauty, knowledge, and utility. And that economies are a science of passionate interest. This maintains the positionality&nbsp; that while value may be ethereal it is wholly integral and not speculative. In other words, ‘wheat is wheat.’ Above all this, a chain of consecutive people clamber on ‘mind clouds’ in reach towards&nbsp; Ascendance. Speculators on top of other speculators. At the top of the image, we see a cameo by the young British artists who, now old, have ascended so far up that they are gatekeepers -, an intern is forced into taking cocaine as a sort of frat house ritual. As art functions only to evidence its godlessness, a multitude of day traders who Look over Geneva Freeport try to destroy anybody who shifts the narrative in a way that is against hedonism and debauchery, a sort of aggressive drug-fueled jealousy and evil anger. This is based on the incentive thay they are invested in a single idea of of progressive art which throws away history, to the detriment of other ideas of substantiated progress.

In practice this means a credit cycle is more than just money, it is a driving of social interactions and emotional experiences felt by millions in synchrony. The artwork shows the housing market cycle of London, the emotions and the social-economic relationships. It developed from my lived experience of the tragedy of London’s housing market, and my understanding of housing cycles from economic theory. Low-interest rates led to hysteria. Housing became a speculative asset rather than being valued for use. Now a steep incline of interest rate turns the over-leveraged over to a panic, and a depression. Politicians propping the market with disastrous policies like the introduction of 40-year mortgages. The result is that we are experiencing the biggest wealth inequality since 1870. In the past two years inflation struck because of excessive money in circulation which linked to a drive-in prices, with too much money chasing too few goods. Now the assets of the middle classes are being eaten in small chunks and the lowest paid feel the worst effects, As a rising damp there is an increase of poorer living standards. Prospects of war rise, dissatisfied people quickly turn evil and the risk of human rights breaches increases. Unemployment and economic hardship also affect the household level as financial depression is positively related to abusive behaviour. Further, rapid increases in the unemployment rate increase men's controlling behaviour toward romantic partners and unemployment and economic distress is caused at household level. We get marred in a boom and divorced in a crash. In the downturn, the foreclosure wave will mean another great redistribution. as the market cycle acts as the invisible hand for the accumulation.But as a pinprick of hope, could see an increase in housing production after its all over. <img width="1280" height="1600" width_o="1280" height_o="1600" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ebff5d95fb9afba26c8af70fd25b37a35677dd9a27a29252093cb3d16335c7f8/ad79a390-1a9e-4d69-8314-8fb39a40c2a1.JPG" data-mid="227453797" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ebff5d95fb9afba26c8af70fd25b37a35677dd9a27a29252093cb3d16335c7f8/ad79a390-1a9e-4d69-8314-8fb39a40c2a1.JPG" /> <img width="2500" height="1746" width_o="2500" height_o="1746" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/19fa933255103ae4e5bafb7c77ea9415d1b170d40a347b151536933e47c2b59e/Pohl-Koseda_Louis-7.jpg" data-mid="196064620" border="0" alt="● Day walk in the peak district, (2023) Oil pastels, coloured pencil, Alcahol based ink and scratching." data-caption="&lt;FONT COLOR=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;●&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;I&gt;&lt;b&gt; Day walk in the peak district, &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/I&gt; (2023) &lt;br&gt; Oil pastels, coloured pencil, Alcahol based ink and scratching." src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/19fa933255103ae4e5bafb7c77ea9415d1b170d40a347b151536933e47c2b59e/Pohl-Koseda_Louis-7.jpg" /> <img width="3993" height="4000" width_o="3993" height_o="4000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c92618046efbdce4183004b20a91e8cdaa6bfc60c5634e28b3a8c822ab2314f9/Louis-Dec-2024-0841.jpg" data-mid="225871528" border="0" alt="The material world (2023), Pen, Ink on canvas Imagination and observation" data-caption="&lt;b&gt;The material world &lt;/I&gt;&lt;/b&gt;(2023),&lt;br&gt; Pen, Ink on canvas&lt;br&gt; Imagination and observation" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c92618046efbdce4183004b20a91e8cdaa6bfc60c5634e28b3a8c822ab2314f9/Louis-Dec-2024-0841.jpg" /> More Information Journey to Goloka Vrindavan (2023), ink drawing, canvas Growing up as a Hare Krishna devotee, every Sunday I would go to the temple in central London in Soho Square. The Hare Krishna religion is a non-materialist religion. Which deems the excess of material possessions as gross, something that stops you from reaching the liberated spiritual world. I wanted to create an image that depicts the conscious understanding of the place situated within the understanding of Hare Krishna: an auto-ethnographic piece depicting the way Oxford Street is perceived and the phenomenology of myth in relation to space. At the heart of the image is a struggle for transcendental realisation against the forces of the material world, where the familiar buildings of Oxford Street are just temporary material realities, represented here as a sort of dollhouse or model village. On the left and in the sky are the symbolic references from the Bhagavad Gita, the scripture that forms the basis of the religion. Showing a fierce struggle between the consumers in Oxford Street and Hare Krishna's, the image echos the battle of Kurukshetra, the ethical precipice of the Vedas. The people on the ground represent the counterparts and different modes of material nature and their symptoms. The Hare Krishna devotees grapple with the means to escape through Kirtan (public song) and chanting (private meditation); along with them is Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, dressed as a devotee. The most recent incarnation of Krishna was from Mayapur. On the left of the image is a banana tree. Krishna’s eternal abode, Goloka Vrindavana, is often shown with the upside-down tree below—a banyan tree. Which represents the material world as a perverted reflection of the spiritual world. So above the banyan tree is Krishna as a child from the butter theif pastime. His mother, Yashoda, is chasing him. Surrounding him is the Dance of Divine Love (the Rasa Lila). He is pouring butter onto the devotees below, creating a flow that represents the thread of consciousness, the Java Attma, and landing on the light-emitting Lord Jagganath. This is the deity from the Shri Shri Radha London Ishvara temple, based in Soho Square. Below this is man being tugged away from the spiritual world by the five figures that represent the forces of illusion they pull at him with the strings of the five senses as he attempts to transcend from the material to the spiritual. <img width="4000" height="3167" width_o="4000" height_o="3167" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a7380f160e1d7ea197fdafa5e5da0bbde30eef666cf7fb557355ee9784eb7fb5/Louis-Dec-2024-0853.jpg" data-mid="225867116" border="0" alt="Losing Reality Slowly(2024)Pen and ink, drawn from imagination " data-caption="&lt;b&gt;Losing Reality Slowly&lt;/b&gt;(2024)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;Pen and ink, drawn from imagination &lt;br&gt;

The peice is based in Peckham, where i live. Today the U.K’s inflation is animating the chain reaction of a price spiral. This image articulates the social events emerging from the price changes, and the accompanying human challenges. Figures are dancing and stealing from each other - like poussins dancers performing a reciprocal theft. The shops steal from the people who need to eat - using sky high prices as a way of taking their milk, but the families of these shopkeepers need to eat too and the owners justify the price rises as they are paying to support their staff wages and children. The inequality of work and life balance leads to an excess of pressure on children. The marginalised, unpaid workforce that make up a bulk of domestic labor - are feeling the brunt of the mounting tension and declining support. This transforms into violence and theft in the streets as the social pressure is never one sided - all are affected by the economic conditions being locked in a price spiral without a happy ending. A wage-price spiral is the unseen theme affecting peaceful people to act in hostility to one another. The figures in the drawing are all drawn from imagination and are loosely based on Poussins dancers. This etching that has has multiple stages, with variations of intaglio line, tone and aquatint. <img width="2948" height="4000" width_o="2948" height_o="4000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/539aafada52c48697900074e0614849dd1b741e502022f4461686363469a9198/Louis-Dec-2024-0750.jpg" data-mid="225188903" border="0" alt="● Supply shock: The Oligopoly of Housing and the London rental market(2024)Pen and ink, drawn from imagination " data-caption="&lt;FONT COLOR=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;●&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;b&gt;

Vandalism is no longer a sublanguage or colloquialism - opressed resisting opressor. But rather has asserted itself as a valuable new means of expressing human emotion and human relationships. As the urban realm shows patterns and changes with layers of accretion these layers can be used to show the internal struggle of a human psyche. As materiality give a strong language of place, it’s effective use&nbsp; can manifest a new form portraiture and post-vandalist representation. In the post-Vandalist figurativism, the image is developed as a process and relationship between material. Addition and subtraction, the buffing, the vandalism, the weathering, repeat. The language formed from cracked wall, layered bright scrawls, the opaque musty grey of recent buffing, red paint, scrawls of white emulsion paint, the damaged surfaces showing aggregate underneath, bolts and steel, the etching, blotches of ink, iron oxide, chalk, copper, plastic-based paint, water-raging plywood, spots of mould and algae weathering, salts and spalling, petroleum based paint, mortar and layers of gypsum, tar, stickers and vertical cracks, clay, feathered velvety spray paint, direct clean surfaces. These material relationships of London are the new grammar that can be used in new poetry, which enables us to reflect new layers of understanding between humans and environment. Just as ambient and noise artists use sampling to create new music. The material juxtapositions can ignite a familiarity, that allows cognitive behavioural chords unique to the new generation - expressing the inner psychological states which are otherwise not expressed. Aswell as changes in a person. The urban is an environmental relationshionships and our sensorial adaptation to this is the phenomenology of the contemporary human- therefore it is the language of the new.

Within the view of actor network theory, relationships are primary, and objects emerge as nodes from pre-existing networks. Objects are what they do, or how they act through their distributed network. The share certificate in this theory is as real as a solid wall; a node that defines the pathways people take through the city. Defining interactions as much as physical experiences. The city is the magnification of the shareholders desires and incentives. If the share certificate directly defines the work we do, then it also defines the phenomenon of life after work. Creating limitations on cultural appreciation and, therefore, British culture. The share certificate creates the base rules for billions of daily economic interactions and all commercial culture, public and private life. The artwork plays with a sort of spiralling poetry, which amplifys the joys and tensions of human interactions within the expansive market system. The overwhelm of the dense commercial culture of London; between the coffee cups, the shoelaces, the joys and perils, the love, and the banality, in between the saltshakers, the radios, and the petrol station flowers, there are humans and love. The actors between all of the nodes. The image itself is a social artwork because if is a new kind of share certificate. But it is as a practical, real device to accompany the articles of association of a new social architecture group called AB__ which I co-founded using a fair-share model - this form of multi-stakeholder social enterprise exists allow different forms of share distribution in land and housng and the production of cities. Therefore potentially resulting more equitable cities and architecture.

On Thursday I spent some time practicing my observational drawing around the the banking sector in Liverpool Street. Growing up in London, I saw bankers moving on and off trains, spilling into pubs after work for my entire life. They vanish entirely on holidays. Thousands of faces move in synchrony. Over time it culminates in the feeling of an ageless and eternal fleet as steadfast as the buildings of bank station. Only when I got a bit older did I understand they weren’t just non-playable characters. Britain is one of the worlds largest exporters of financial services.&nbsp; Reading more about the economic system we live in you start to see how Issues within the global economy reflect themselves in the city of London. The wild volatility of human emotion and high irrationality of the global market are almost echoed in the daily expressions on the faces of the bankers. A secret mirror of the global market forces This drawing was made during the time that the pound crashed to historic levels against the dollar, narrowly avoiding dollar parity. With everything happening in the world economy, you can tell if it’s a good or a bad day just by looking at the expressions of the bankers. <img width="2913" height="4000" width_o="2913" height_o="4000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/143109a119e2a131f4b3ac5020f01cf3cdf35ee5f46886f07ac522977d470e72/Louis-Dec-2024-0742.jpg" data-mid="233512383" border="0" alt="Prasadam distribution Moss Side." data-caption="Prasadam distribution Moss Side." src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/143109a119e2a131f4b3ac5020f01cf3cdf35ee5f46886f07ac522977d470e72/Louis-Dec-2024-0742.jpg" /> <img width="3072" height="2349" width_o="3072" height_o="2349" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e5bc1623efddc7662635273f97186ce975bd6195e118b08c13b1aa51750561b9/IMG_1229.JPG" data-mid="193053614" border="0" alt="●6:45 on the Landscape,(2023) Oil paint on board, Open air painting" data-caption="&lt;FONT COLOR=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;●&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;I&gt;6:45 on the Landscape,&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/I&gt;(2023) &lt;br&gt;Oil paint on board, &lt;br&gt; Open air painting" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e5bc1623efddc7662635273f97186ce975bd6195e118b08c13b1aa51750561b9/IMG_1229.JPG" /> <img width="4000" height="2817" width_o="4000" height_o="2817" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/fc703194c6303d05886764379320598f78797f625963991267aa380847d86390/Louis-Dec-2024-0765.jpg" data-mid="233515112" border="0" alt="Joe organising Workshops" data-caption="Joe organising Workshops" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/fc703194c6303d05886764379320598f78797f625963991267aa380847d86390/Louis-Dec-2024-0765.jpg" /> <img width="4032" height="3024" width_o="4032" height_o="3024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e71f2723c925b54dc1f1a756be1af0450e92ef51dbd4e0405289e947007881fe/IMG_0501-3.JPG" data-mid="201598501" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e71f2723c925b54dc1f1a756be1af0450e92ef51dbd4e0405289e947007881fe/IMG_0501-3.JPG" /> <img width="1440" height="1009" width_o="1440" height_o="1009" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/61905232be8c844c82d805668f36afd6d000c294282d61ca4343fc1038fca592/32549EE8-3014-44E2-B3BA-577F91C52D83-2.JPG" data-mid="193061574" border="0" alt="Easa Commons Drawings" data-caption="Easa Commons Drawings" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/61905232be8c844c82d805668f36afd6d000c294282d61ca4343fc1038fca592/32549EE8-3014-44E2-B3BA-577F91C52D83-2.JPG" /> <img width="1440" height="1002" width_o="1440" height_o="1002" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8ef22b5f0ce8c3185447cb6e86978a68dfaecff2d1d036ecb3d0522bd6e5480c/7C852C79-3FDD-496E-97A5-08A91BF3DD54-2.JPG" data-mid="193061572" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8ef22b5f0ce8c3185447cb6e86978a68dfaecff2d1d036ecb3d0522bd6e5480c/7C852C79-3FDD-496E-97A5-08A91BF3DD54-2.JPG" /> <img width="1440" height="1002" width_o="1440" height_o="1002" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a190dba619cadc390b6c6b7a6daf0f6add73a1650e9707e0853f339d2e2ee118/DA6401BA-71F8-4BC0-B525-64F21F100621-2.JPG" data-mid="193061577" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a190dba619cadc390b6c6b7a6daf0f6add73a1650e9707e0853f339d2e2ee118/DA6401BA-71F8-4BC0-B525-64F21F100621-2.JPG" /> <img width="2500" height="1737" width_o="2500" height_o="1737" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2c2a04e51174b31724c8c62121163c8efa580bfee4bd3efe304be36de72c871b/Pohl-Koseda_Louis-2-CH.jpg" data-mid="196063987" border="0" alt="●The material conditions of financial packages,(2023)Pen and ink on paper." data-caption="&lt;FONT COLOR=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;●&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;I&gt;The material conditions of financial packages,&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/I&gt;(2023)&lt;br&gt;Pen and ink on paper." src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2c2a04e51174b31724c8c62121163c8efa580bfee4bd3efe304be36de72c871b/Pohl-Koseda_Louis-2-CH.jpg" /> Details The material conditions of financial packages in greater london. This piece looks at the urban housing conditions and lived experience in the Londons outer boroughs. On the edges of Greater London the psychological and spatial conditions merge so closely to become one single lived experience of deficit. In the image I show a cul-de-sac of small terraces, a stranger smoking in a muddied parks grass, a man in the foreground opening a bill and holding a child. All of these are familiar moments of normality in the Greater London boroughs such as Barking and Dagenham and Redbridge. The image is a hybrid of familiar experiences growing up.

They had bright colours and tones and imaginative moments. This is the language of beauty and memory. It got me thinking about how I could apply this way of representation to my everyday life too. After some conversations with jo, who is a doctor in accident and emergency, and after a trip to Manchester and visiting the A&amp;E this weekend, I decided to try and represent Manchester hospital emergency department memories in these light and airy colours.Currently there are 20 hour waiting times in accident and emergency despite some patients being excessively ill. There are varying degrees of trauma in the waiting room. Also there are about 4 managers to every doctor, making the resource allocation completely skewed.
