'The Living Line' is a site-specific commission by East London-based illustrator Somang Lee. It visualises the plants, birds and insects that can be discovered along the route of The Line, encouraging people to explore the wealth of wildlife in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and along the waterways. During the development of the commission, Lee led workshops at Pudding Mill Allotments with Year 5 students from Carpenters School. The resulting drawings are featured in The Botanical Gallery at the centre of the installation. Lee’s practice is informed by a love of nature and outdoor adventures. This installation provides intricate illustrations, as well as factual information, about local wildlife. By encouraging people to spend more time in nature, we hope that everyone will be motivated to protect it for the future.
