Hoarding commission for Blackfriars Road

Tenderground’s inaugural public commission featured our own artist in residence, Jenny Adams, an Edward Edwards resident, invited to make a site-specific work for the hoardings which surround the almshouse site during the redevelopment of the almshouse building. The large-scale drawings are enlarged from Jenny’s many sketchbooks documenting her daily life living in the almshouse behind these hoardings.

Designed in collaboration with Charlie Noon, the images simultaneously record the often overlooked details of our immediate environment – of plants, the stages of decaying fruit, roadworks or flowers picked in the garden and left on her windowsill by a neighbour, and mark the next phase for Edward Edwards House.
