Moat

moat n. a wide ditch, typically filled with water, surrounding a fortified place such as a castle and intended as a defence against attack.

There are approximately 3 million EU nationals living in the United Kingdom.  Since the invocation of Article 50 the government has offered no guarantees of their status after March 2019.  The combination of these visual elements and testaments was to look at the emotional impact of that result on London residents and workers, and find out how it has impacted on their daily lives. How welcome do they still feel?

Some sections of the British media were in celebratory mode with headlines that leaned towards jingoism, whilst the international press reflected the surprise and shock of the result. I used the rich colour of the anthotypes as a way of including those messages alongside the testimonies (seen in the wallpaper) and the vocabulary from a botanical glossary, the latter of which is also used in the vernacular.
