Windowsills: pollination was a year long project working in the St Thomas area of Exeter.
The area is made up of terraced streets, built for railway workers in the late 19th century. Prior to this the area was dedicated to plant growing, because St Thomas is parts of the River Exe’s flood plain, and until 1950, the area was regularly inundated.
The terraced housing offers little privacy from the street. The Windowsills project explicitly wanted to engage with public and private boundaries relating to the home.
