Comments were collected through both planned visits and initiated conversations on the streets of Margate, Broadstairs and Ramsgate. In ancient times Thanet was an island and in 2006 it was on the cusp of economic and cultural development. It was an area often marketed and branded for developers and investors. Resort aimed to collate and celebrate both the momentous and minutiae of life lived in this corner of east Kent: Where people were married, which of the public toilets in Ramsgate were still open, and which butterfly breeds had recently been spotted. In 2012 already some of the buildings photographed and places described no longer exist. Current developments are drawing large numbers of new residents and visitors to the area. The landscape of everyday life in Thanet continues to shift.   This project was commissioned by Gallery IOTA in Ramsgate and culminated in an exhibition 18 August to 10 September 2006. The programme was funded through Arts Council South East.

A team of artists (KLAT staff) were recruited to engage local residents in conversation through topics suggested by a printed KLAT Guide with the aim of finding something they have in common. Later versions of the project were commissioned as part of [SPACE]'s Roman Roadparty and the Mile of Art event on Goldsmith's Row in the same year.   You can download the KLAT guide here https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56b0f8667da24fca7d0b0965/1454939452338-SJXUQISV18UUPFJVFN2U/Screen+Shot+2016-02-08+at+13.15.05.png Projects https://estherlouisecollins.wordpress.com/ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56b0f8667da24fca7d0b0965/1454949325989-UCORLC91J9G87VYK47YA/Section+2+larger.jpg Projects - Resort In 2012 I worked with Folded Sheet to produce an A0 printed guide to Thanet using all the visual and conversational information I collected through the Resort 2006 project.

I trained at Falmouth School of Art and Birkbeck, University of London and have been working on community and engaged projects since 2000. I am currently employed at Towner Eastbourne, and previously have been at Cubitt Artists, the National Portrait Gallery and Turner Contemporary. I have been commissioned by Cement Fields, Space Studios and Bow Arts Trust. Alongside this I have worked as a cheesemonger since 2005, meeting artists, designers and philosophers with whom I have collaborated to explore our shared fascination with making.
