LIFE OF THE HIGH STREET for VOLK GALLERY
Riso-printed concertina book. Printed by Yalla Riso.
'Life of the High Street' illustrates the reality of today's town centres, where grocers and florists have been replaced by charity shops and bookies. The title, a playful poke at the 'Death of the High Street' trope, offers a note of optimism, the 'life' being the characters who move through the street - people on their way to work, shoppers, children, dogs, families and friends.

Consisting of a repurposed nappy vending machine, Volk Gallery is hung in the publicly accessible locale of the Keiller Centre. A rotation of products are dispensed at a set price of £3 each.
