Site Verify Revisited
Site Verify was an artistic dialogue about regeneration, history and community. This dialogue was framed in the context of an evolving exhibition in the centre of Sunniside, Sunderland. Her work focused on J. F. Wilson’s Shopfitters which opened in 1918 and closed in 2008. Her work uses materials salvaged from the building including ninety years of blue prints upon which the mandate to Site Verify was written.

October 12, 2012 will be a revisiting of Site Verify. The original photographs of the factory printed on salvaged blue prints and an installation piece, The Forgetting Curve, will be shown alongside new artist books made by Dawn Felicia Knox with text by Richard W. Hardwick.
