Abstract
This work focuses on the Chelmsley Wood Estate and its surrounding area. He first visited the estate in 1999 at that time he was living in Erdington, Birmingham. His last visit was in 2017 when Tony McCorry a former resident invited him on a guided tour; the conversation, and discussions following that tour, informed and shaped the ideas and concepts behind these drawings. The drawings include ‘Centurion Pub & Wedgewood House’, ‘Westham House’, ‘Firecroft, and Avencroft House’. He never tries to capture the estate as it was, but records the as they stand today, a marker of change and trigger for memory, looking at how the passing of time and absence has changed our understanding of these Places.
