Harriet Mena Hill documents the Aylesbury Estate in South East London as it undergoes demolition. Using wool and felt, she creates large-scale portraits that mimic photographs but reveal their fibrous material on close inspection. Her Soft Concrete series repositions the estate as a place of community and domestic life, countering media narratives of violence and hopelessness.
In The Aylesbury Fragments, Hill paints intimate scenes on ragged concrete collected from the demolition site. She lives with each fragment for months before painting, capturing hallways and windows of buildings left standing. Over 150 paintings serve as small tributes to the community once housed within the estate's walls.
