Manchester School of Art Unit X, London Scottish House, Manchester, May 2016.

Response to the Whitworth Art Gallery. 

The original idea for the Whitworth was to create a source of perpetual gratification for the people of Manchester. 
In it's 127 years it has changed and reinvented itself but the original aim has remained constant for the people of Manchester and for the thousands of people passing through the city.
