Sometimes the choice of materials is just as meaningful as the art itself.

The Aylesbury Fragmentsdocument what remains of the occupied parts of the estate as it undergoes regeneration.

The concrete pieces that Hill uses come from a block of flats called Chiltern which was demolished in 2020.

The Aylesbury Estate was designed by architect Hans Peter Fenton and constructed between 1963 and 1977.

It consisted of 2,700 dwellings that housed about 10,000 residents at one time.

The works offer an opportunity to do so.

Artist Harriet Mena Hill paints detailed scenes on pieces of concrete.

Hill uses these remains as canvases for her paintings.

Each of these works portrays a section of architecture from the demolished block of apartments.
