Currently, I am focussed on the locality where I live, taking photographs of, thinking about the place where I have settled, and exhibiting in venues that are nearby.
Upper Calder Catchment Area harks back to the famous Boxing Day floods that affected the north of England in 2021. How to describe a process that has taken an era; that becomes invisible through the length of time it has taken? Problems with the climate have only become recognisable in the last few decades but atmospheric change linked to global warming has been known of since the Industrial Revolution. The work buys in to the pictorialism of the early pioneer photographers from that time but it is disrupted alluding to the changes that we can see happening in the environment now.
