Girton Time: Carol Adlam
Carol Adlam first crossed the threshold of Girton College as the Mary Amelia Cummins Harvey Visiting Fellow Commoner in October 2021. She spent the next year haunting its corridors, lurking in stairwells, lying in long grass, drawing wheatfields, wind tunnels, laboratories, offices, libraries, archives, basements, bike huts, and clock innards.
Using rapid drawing techniques and materials including charcoal, printmaking, and chalk on blackboard, she focused on fleeting interactions and neglected spaces in order to tell new stories about the College and its people.
Adam Crothers’ and James Wade’s poems sit alongside the artwork, agreeing and disagreeing, remixing and riffing on its themes of daily time and deep time that underpin the life of the College in all its variety.
