During Architecture Week 2002, John Davies decided to build a shed inside a shed. The idea was to sit inside the shed inside a shed and write poetry. Little did he know that the residency would spawn a whole new persona and business for Davies, now aka ‘the Shedman’.
Davies was looking for a suitable venue for his residency application, which had been accepted by Arts Council England South East’s ArchiTEXTS project, when he visited the Booth Museum of Natural History with his young son.
