Women on the Streets of Madrid
This element of the project ran from February until April 2016. It started as an experiment for new audiences for art and, although the work does not use traditional street art materials its aim has always been to make the invisible more visible for a wider less traditional art audience. The work has evolved in terms of size and position and now focuses more exclusively on contemporary workers. It has also become more site specific with the relationship between the labour and site examined.
The figures are placed in public spaces which are increasingly relevant to the work of the women portrayed. It is ephemeral and was never designed to permanently alter the street in the way that painting on walls directly does. The materiality of the work is important as the fabric has a quality which changes with the support and the glue; it temporarily becomes a part of the wall.
Below is a chronological documentation of the figures to that point:
