New Builds - Publication

New Builds is a collaboration that merges sculpture, drawing and photography.

The sculptural works featured in this publication were made by Otis Blease between 2020 and 2021 as a way of reusing his discarded drawings. Later in collaboration with Isaac Blease, the New Builds were packed up in a suitcase, transported around London and photographed in the locations that originally inspired them.

This process reflects on the human urge to recreate our surroundings as a way of understanding them. Like building forts when you're a kid or the way a dog digs a hole to lie in, New Builds was an attempt to reclaim an interactive approach to the urban-landscape.
