at the exhibition Parallel_Citys, I displayed my work. This piece is about the Grand Surrey Canal. behind of Peckham Library, there was Surrey Canal Peckham Branch in 1826 to 1974. Now it is a cycling road as a Peckham Canal Walk. Thus I drew a pair of illustration on hand made concertina books for this site. one is in the past, another is now.
