Grady was invited to spend a month as Artist in Residence at Passengers in March 2021 during the Covid lockdown developing a research project Vanishing Points. The title is a nod to the compositional technique commonly used to create perspective drawings that allows lines to converge at an endpoint. She sought to blur the reality of the physical space, exploring its ability to channel light and colour, stripping back to the fundamental core structure of the building's design.
During the residency she created a series of screenprints, photographs and mirror interventions. Her installation, Vanishing Points, is uses transparent coloured vinyl and dichroic vinyl which changes colour dependant on the direction it's viewed from; a soft pink purple to a contrasting reflective amber gold. The composition is inspired by the iconic stepped architecture of the Brunswick Centre's where Passengers is situated.
Passengers is a site-specific curatorial project, conceived and curated by Julie Hill, in partnership with Gauld Architecture. A series of commissions that explore the historical, social and material contexts of various sites and architecture in the vicinity of the headquarters of Gauld Architecture at the Brunswick Centre - a Modernist, mixed residential and commercial development in Bloomsbury, London.
