This is an alternative history in which the Crescent wool warehouse in Wapping is adapted and added to by two artists taking turns over decades, making an accretive theatre from salvaged materials, casting with rubble aggregates, and wool, that filters and stores storm surge water.

In 1981, an artist named Rodina was commissioned to make an accretive monument to the docks and the heavy bomb damage they suffered in the Blitz. This is a cast collage using rubble from the demolished warehouse, preceded by a ‘Site Hut’ testing this. In the 2000s, after the monument had been imperfectly maintained and neglected through the early 1990s recession, another artist named Habetrot (a folk mythology figure), who works with textiles, and her friends, move in and once granted squatter’s rights, maintain the building in their own ways.

From 2016 to 2030, the focus of the work is a live and work space for Habetrot and her group, where they can hold classes on textiles. This part of the building uses reused materials from nearby demolished buildings and is self-built by the group with a skilled supervisor. It accumulates over the years as the buildings to be salvaged are demolished.
