March 2021; Temporary artwork to newly pedestrianised area of Southampton currently being installed. The street painting runs 130m along the Carlton Place and encourages pedestrians to interact more with the road. The gridded markings reference vehicular markings and are only partially infilled to allow future collaboration with schools and other groups as an ongoing process. It is envisaged that this is part of a wider scheme with seating, tables and other visual devices to animate the street. This project is in collaboration with Studio B.a.d Architects and Go! Southampton.
