“I loved the kinetic nature of Julie’s art which reflects wonderfully the excitement, the complexity and the people involved in the construction process. I am in awe of what she can do on the tiny screen of an iPhone - the fact that you can also rewind the process and see how she did it, is particularly fascinating.” Peter Murray, Chairman, New London Architecture
Over the past two years, Julie has applied the instant nature of hand-held technology to get up close with the people, personalities and places at the heart of Europe’s biggest infrastructure project. By creating digital and animated drawings at specific moments, her pictures capture everyday situations out on sites across the route, bringing the evolution of the project to life.
Highlighting Julie’s work through five key themes, this exhibition peers into the hidden past below the line through the eyes of archaeologists, gives a fascinating insight into the many people and building works down the tunnels and hidden behind the construction hoardings, and shows how art can inspire young people from local communities living along the route.
