These drawings were made during a two-week residency at The Squatters – Artist in Residence program. During this time, Inga responded to the vast, atmospheric space of The Powerhouse - focusing on its history etched into the walls, its role in shaping both community and landscape.

These works draw on three key elements: the patina of the brick walls, the shifting lines and shapes of the tin roofs glimpsed on her daily walks to the Squat, and the nearby limestone quarry offering cool relief from the heat. Through collage, soft pastel, and locally sourced charcoal, Inga builds and erases layered surfaces that echo traces of both industry and landscape.

For Inga, drawing is a process of negotiation - where erasure holds as much significance as the mark itself. Each decision to keep or remove becomes a meditation on the intertwined histories of place, labour, and transformation.
