“I saw an exciting opportunity to make a series of visual interventions in the public realm which would focus on the most important group affected by Westminster City Council’s regeneration plans in North Marylebone, London, where I live. I wanted to create an environment where local people visually occupied their own streets, and had a crucial visible presence in the changing townscape of their neighbourhood, reflecting and championing how integral they are to the area’s past, present and future as it undergoes a huge transformation.”  – Emma Blau
