Forward/Progress?

Cities and people aren’t that different from each other. As both grow and develop for the future they invariably change a great deal. Over time the landscape and views alter as do hearts and minds. The old is continually replaced by the new. One order’s established way, thinking or style is replaced by another’s vision – in flesh, on paper, in pixel as well as concrete, metal, wood and sand.

But forever entwined in our city and in our lives are our memories. Those special places, times, stories and landmarks ordered to recollect, for us and those that have gone before. This is our history. Forward…Ever forward, but please tread carefully with grace. So much more important things than commercialism or progress depend on us.

Forward / Progress was featured as part of the first Birmingham Design Festival after being chosen as a selected work.
