Charlie Jay & Grace Walters

What are we building for? And where are we going? 

As we strive for progress and abundance, are we failing to appreciate what’s already there? And do we really know what we are creating? The natural and the constructed worlds are at odds with each other, and a growing junkyard spirals out of sight and out of control. Humans and animals are carving out pockets to survive in an ever growing shadow of the junkyard – what we wish to ignore but refuses to disappear. Ghosts haunt and panic grows, and you’ll wonder if it’s all beyond our control. 

Put on your hard hats – it’s sure to be a wild ride.

junkyard will open alongside The Quiet Between by participating M16 Artspace studio artists, and Blockwork by Fiona Little.
