Andrew is creating a digital “game space”, representative of a digital version of the town as it turns 75 between September 2023 and April 2024. This work forms part of a series of digital residencies commissioned by No More Nowt that explore how people from across the County, country and wider world can connect with County Durham’s people, place and the NMN programme.

Wood’s practice spans disparate media, shifting from physical to file, performance to film. He produces drawings, text, and moving image that draw from collaged observation and autobiography.

“It’s impossible to tell the story of Peterlee, its 75 years, or to chart its course forward without first reckoning with its multitude of cancelled futures. Those phantom plans that continue to haunt the minds of residents, scholars, architects, historians, and artists, all curious about what might-have-been. The work to question these possibilities.” — Andrew Wood
