Untitled (1-6)

by James Newton

These compositions are the result of bill posters being removed from hoardings surrounding a yet to be developed site at Vauxhall in London. The blank space invites a regular layer of posters; unofficial advertising on unrented space. Workers are dispatched to tear, scrape and overpaint, restoring the hoardings to their neutral status. Empty space ready to be filled again.

I have been documenting this process over a period of 5 years, collecting these unintentional abstract expressions of constant change within the the urban environment. Layers of paint, paste and paper in an ongoing battle of ownership.
