We Reside* Here was a map of artists residing in the St Helens Borough published in celebration of St Helens being the Borough of Culture for 2023. For the project, I created several illustrations of things and places around St Helens that are considered 'landmarks' to artists, such as a bench to sit and draw on. Alongside this, I designed a base map of St Helens, with the idea that artists are constantly creating and have works-in-progress

​

The map was exhibited in St Mary's Market event space, as part of an exhibition featuring artists of all practices from across the St Helens Borough. The map was transformed into a 3D installation piece as part of the exhibition.
