Coutties Wynd

I am Erin Campbell, an Interior and Environmental Design student, currently in my 4th year at Duncan of Jordanstone Art School.

Coutties Wynd is a central backstreet alleyway in Dundee. It is currently a hub of drug taking, homelessness, prostitution and violence. The space has been damaged, and damaged spaces need healed.
My project focuses on the urban regeneration of Coutties Wynd as a new and exciting experience: an amalgamation of backstreet culture and the seedy underbelly of city living. The space plays host to a set of retail outlets- a boutique, record store, tattoo parlour, whiskey and poker den, public toilet, tobacco store and a tea room/strip club, whilst playing on the activities that will inevitably be carried out in the dark hidden corners of the urban landscape. This clash of two worlds will rejuvenate the area- Coutties Wynd will still be backstreet.

Vhils.Vhils creates arresting portraits by breaking away pieces of walls. He takes his subtractive art to not only galleries and exhibition spaces but also the streets, creating larger-than-life figures in the midst of urban and underused space. Hegenerally first sketches out each piece in spraypaint, before beginning the painstaking process of chipping, sawing, and drilling away at the wall to various depths. He will often add additional colour or shading to the newly exposed portions of the wall, creating a visual interplay between the untouched surface, original painted figure, and layers of underlying material.

There’s a chance I might not get all this finished. Or I will, and nobody will be able to print it on time!

Getting my doodle on whilst waiting what feels like hours for my renders to finish. Cup of tea time, I think :) x

Rubbish render, but I love my moustache counter top for cigarette rolling! :) The rain is so heavy tonight, it’s making me want to curl up and watch Aladdin but no no no. Work time!
