local artist Anya Beaumont uses mini-residency at theLOCALgallery to boost her mapping project

‘Mapping Muswell -an N10 Paper Project’ is an art project devised by local artist Anya Beaumont for the N10 area. Using paper collected from across the community and different maps of the area Anya will create a sculptural relief for the Library in Muswell Hill. Anya aims to reflect the diverse community working/living/visiting the area by using scraps of paper from as many individuals and businesses as possible. Anya will be conducting two residencies in Muswell Hill whilst the work is in progress. The first is at theLOCALgallery 18th-20th May and the second is in the Library 13th-17th August. During the residencies people will be able to see the work in progress, as it is being created, and also take part in a creative mapping project – an opportunity to indulge in a bit of self-expression!

If you would like to donate some paper, it can be dropped off at the Library, or you can contact Anya by email on anyabeaumont@yahoo.co.uk. Anya is also very pleased to have support from local renewable energy installers -Green Power Installations.
