There are now three of us working to document the disused buildings of Bletchley Park. Read an interview on jotta.com with installation artist Maya Ramsay (left) here. More about Caroline Devine's work with sound and music is on her site, Liner Notes. Watch this space for news of the results of our work.

Come and check it out!

The buildings are so hazardous that I have to be accompanied by someone and this time my 'chaperone' was Maya Ramsay, an artist that I first met at the Florence Trust Open Studios back in February. I saw a piece of her work before I actually met her, and immediately thought of Bletchley Park. We call this part of the northern end of Block C the Rat Room.

"We didn't go into any of the other huts; that was something we didn't do. There was no need to. We never discussed our work, even with the people we worked with while outside."
