Change in Charcoal
Valerie Irwin Archive Project
An artist's response to the demolition and construction at Cranfield's Flour Mill at the Ipswich Dock between 2004 and 2009.
This powerful piece of art amounts to 4,050 drawings and 25 sketchbooks. Many of these were quick responses, gestural, action and multi-layered as well as observational drawings.
The Valerie Irwin Archive Project charity intends to raise funds to ensure public access to the collection through the including:
- Costs involved involved in preservation of the drawings
- Purchase of archive suitable storage files and boxes
- Cost of digitising particular selections and sequences of drawings which would be of particular interest to the public.
All work with cataloguing, packing, oral history compilation and organisation will be conducted by volunteers under the guidance of the Suffolk Record Office.
Below are a few images from the collection showing a mixture of construction and demolition.
