Fragments and objects were collected and catalogued on site, at 55 Leroy St, London, a derelict industrial warehouse awaiting transformation into residential apartments. These materials evidence the succession of people that have passed through, and the activities that have taken place in, the space.

Drawings that trace incidental marks and stains evidencing the effects of time on the physical structure of the building were installed in the space along with a selection of the collected objects and a time continuum map.

The map explored the succession of people, companies and industries that have inhabited and used the space over time. The mapping reveals the process of change that has occurred in the building - this building becomes a case study of the process of change that has occurred in the area immediately surrounding the building, and in the wider world.

Traces and Evidence was part of the group exhibition Forensic. To read Althea Greenan's review of the exhibition on a-n interface, click here. An artist in residence report of the Traces and Evidence project is available on ArtyBird.
