SUSAN KERSH PORTFOLIO
peckham cantine


i constructed this model for a certain project during my foundation course; the peckham project. the ideal outcome of this project was to create a space, object or product that would benefit the neighborhood of peckham.
​
since peckham is saturated with certain northern african, caribbean and asian cultures, the neighborhood is filled with stands that sell cuisine and produce native to the latter communities; the most well known of these open markets is on peckham rye lane.
​
i deeply appreciate this about peckham, but I found myself asking, where to sit and eat? i let this question drive my project of creating an eating area, or cantine, throughout my process with research, construction, design, as well as exploring the use of colour.

Basquiat +art deco

basquiat's works reminded me of the graffiti all around peckham- and how artistically beautiful it is.
