And below is always the accumulated past, which vanishes but does not vanish, which persists and remains (Marilynne Robinson, Housekeeping, Faber & Faber, 1981, 172)

Reconfiguring The Wall


This is the first post of my interconnected blogs which focuses on work by Emma Rowden . With the addition of this blog there are now four that form the basis of my project: 'From the Block to the Blog and Back Again'. In this blog I aim to collect details and thoughts on the process of making a quilt, 'Reconfiguring the Wall' which Emma Rowden made as part of her final year honours architecture presentation in 2006.
Emma chose the former mental asylum of Callan Park (Sydney) as a site to explore: "...the social ethics and politics of architecture" (Emma Rowden, notes from 'Not To Scale', graduation exhibition).
I am hoping so show other work by Emma as well.
