Nemo Estate
2018
A meticulously rendered architectural floor plan rendered in coloured pencil and oil stick, *Nemo Estate* presents the utilitarian layout of a British social housing block with the detached precision of a bureaucratic document. Coventry appropriates the visual language of modernist urban planning, transforming the anonymous geometry of council estate design into a charged aesthetic object. The artist's frame further elevates the work, implicating the institutions of art and architecture in the social conditions such estates were built to address.
