Landscape modification structure

This temporary conceptual installation discovers hidden space in two simple actions; cut and pull
It is a light weight structural insertion, capable of supporting landscape skins of changing environments and exposing real or magical/ imaginary spaces hidden under the surface.

In Dungeness’s shingle beach, the shingles covering the structure provided a mini shelter which seems as though it was dug into the ground. Using the stone of the site as cladding formed a camouflaged space during the day. At night light shone through the perforated stone skin exposing a gem like object on the beach.

Placed in a play ground, Stockwell London, the surface tore the lawn to discover a ‘hidden’ a play space which uncovered a surprise - a layer of colourful shingles under the ground.
