Plans to remove the pedestrian subways of Elephant and Castle have caused some controversy; not everyone supports their removal. This topical and meaningful project, entitled ‘Happenings,’ does not take sides, but instead creates a graphic study of attitudes and captures the appearance of the subways as a memento. The cover for ‘happenings’ was printed using letterpress, to create impact and capture the look and feel of the subway tiles.
The publication is accompanied by a small number of A2 limited edition letterpress prints. If you are interested in purchasing a print, please send me a message via the 'contact' page.
