Trace is a site-specific installation across the first floor windows of Neckinger Mills in Abbey Street recalling the female workers who played a key role in the buildings past.

Trace is the culmination of a two-year initiative conceived and managed by Alison Marchant for Cafe Gallery Projects London. For the past two decades Marchant's practice has involved archival research integrating sites specific practice and social engagement, a process she refers to as 'Memory Mapping'.

Trace continues Marchant's on-going pursuit of otherwise hidden and displaced identities of industrial female workers within the monumental but transient frame of the urban space, bringing the public voice into contemporary art.
