MIDDEN
2026
Cities leave traces in stone, hardware, and the ordinary forms we gradually stop noticing. The whole project Midden begins with a simple question: when Glasgow buildings are demolished, what happens to the materials that remain? Do they disappear into landfill, or can they be given a second life?
Drawing from fragments of chimneys, escutcheons, tiles, and site residue, the project transforms construction waste into a collection of ceramic objects and packaging. Each object carries the postcode of its material source alongside its own piece number, creating a traceable link between the finished object and the place it came from.
