Turnover explores the emotional and architectural legacy of Park Hill Flats in Sheffield through a series of acrylic paintings. Drawing on memory, urban observation, and cultural reflection, the project captures the tension between permanence and change within one of the UK’s most iconic examples of Brutalist social housing. Once a symbol of post-war ambition and working-class community, Park Hill’s controversial regeneration has produced wider shifts in class, identity and belonging.

Crawford uses bold, structured compositions and a limited but evocative colour palette, the paintings isolate fragments of the building’s facade; grids of windows and balconies to concrete walkways. These visual motifs act as both an architectural study and an emotional one. The paintings engage with the lived experience of working-class Northerners, not through nostalgia or romanticisation, but through a raw and honest depiction.

The project aims to honour the emotional infrastructure of working-class life in Sheffield, revealing how the visual language of urban space holds traces of resistance and resilience.
