Registering Urban Tremors:
The Observatory at the World’s End
.
This project began with a found bike,
an overlooked artefact on the Royal
Mile whose fractured frame was part of
other neglected objects and residues
that settle into the street’s daily fabric.
From that single object emerged an
interest in the tremors that pass
through Edinburgh each day: the
misplaced, the discarded, the repeated
gestures and seasonal rituals that
accumulate into a form of civic memory.
.
The World’s End Observatory is thus imagined as an instrument within this larger city imaginary, a device that registers,archives, and occasionally reorganizes these traces at the edge of the city, where the Netherbow Port once stood.
.
The work tests how these disturbances
might become spatial, and to outline
the beginnings of a city calibrated
through its own fleeting rhythms and
overlooked artefacts.

Boneyard of Catastrophes [2523x1189mm]
from Arrival of The Colossus: [De]constructing the Forth Rail Bridge
.
.
The Drawing attempts to represent the brutal unmaking of the vehement Forth Rail Bridge, its resultant chimeras, and the aftermath of this revelatory inquisition. Through a rigorous interrogation of scale, the familiar and unfamiliar, the ordinary and the uncanny, monstrous beings start to emerge from the abyss, an amalgamation of what is and what was, shedding their skin as they break free, wreaking havoc wherever opportunity arises as they slowly dock at a terminating boneyard of catastrophes
