Alexandra Blum served as artist in residence during construction of the massive Dalston Square development. Over three years, she created these dense charcoal drawings showing the changing face of the area. Her depictions include views from the streets, inside the construction site and from within a completed flat on the 17th floor.

A small exhibition of the images is on show at the Geffrye Museum, Kingsland Road, and was recently extended until 11 February 2012. Entrance is free.
