CATHERINE HARRINGTON
Catherine Harrington is an artist, a multi-award winning architect, and a diplomatic, yet staunch, environmental campaigner specialising in housing and regeneration.
Catherine’s art practice connects with revealing unseen forces and marking territories that we traverse in our everyday lives.
Project: 'Walking through a Workhouse, Hillside Park, London N19'
These works relate to Catherine’s group walk, where the siting of a demolished
workhouse is traced. The workhouse’s rooms, demarcated by Catherine’s on-site
installations, are imagined by participants as they contemplate inmates’ lives, now
erased from history.
Link to the Walk:
https://www.londonfestivalofarchitecture.org/event/exploring-londons-workhouses/
Site Map / Onsite Installations 'Walking through a Workhouse'
digital Prints of photos
Images of site installations situated in the following rooms of the workhouse: The Porter, The Dormitory, The Stone Yard, The Dead House.
'Handi-work'
work on paper
The administrators of the workhouse regarded people solely by the labour of their hands, a practice seen in some workplaces today.
'Rock / Rope'
installation
Inmates confined to the workhouse broke up rocks and dismantled ship ropes – a regime of forced manual labour that underpinned the expansion of both cities and trade routes.
'Past Identity'
sculpture
When entering the workhouse, inmates handed over their clothes and possessions, along with 'handing' over their past identity, before donning their workhouse uniform.
'Residual Contaminants (Beneath Our Feet)'
sculptural installation
Residue metal deposits, created from the overflow of metal casting, were collected from a foundry floor, and re-assembled to draw an analogy with those contaminated liquids trapped underground in the fracking process.

IRENE PULGA
Irene Pulga is a mixed media artist. Her concerns range from the physical and primal to the
mystical world of dreams and symbols.
She’s also inspired by movement and dance-based practices.
Two qualities consistently evident in Irene’s art define her practice: rawness and her
search for aesthetic beauty. Her work constantly explore the tension between the two.
'Strings attached'
monoprint, ink and gold leaf on paper)
'Strings attached 2'
ink and gold leaf on paper
The 2 pieces are part of a bigger body of work that explores Irene’s concern with
aspects of our life that are hidden, behind our ‘regular’ reality we all live daily, i.e. our connections to higher states of consciousness, our knots and ties to the past and our ancestors…
Price: £200 each (unframed)
Truly beautiful and fascinating mixed-media* hand-made 'zines from the series are also available to view. Contact the artist directly if you have publishing or sales queries.

GIORGOS THEOCHAROUS
Giorgos Theocharous: Every piece of my work is made to relate to the next by continuing the layout of the previous one creating a visually continuous artwork as I consider life events to be.
The materials I use are eclectic. I recycle with fragments from my previous works, watercolours depicting rivers, inks representing the transparency with spiritual power of crystals and abstract motifs with scenes from China about paper making from bamboo. Mono printing for uncanny textures and charcoal are used for hyper realistic story telling.
'Disruptions'
mixed media on watercolour paper
A mixture of life events described in a semi abstract way.
