Mystery Woman In The Mystery
This work combines two images. One of a woman walking along Brick Lane in London in 1983 and another of the Mystery Park in Liverpool.
The ghostly park with its colourful surreal lighting provides a strangely welcoming environment for the woman photographed in black and white from the past. People will know doubt ask me what my favourite work is in my current exhibition. I normally reply, “I don’t have a favourite”. However if I were forced to choose one it would be the mystery woman in the mystery. I love her, possibly because I’ve been looking at her image for many decades.

Under The Bridge On Brick Lane
This image was derived from a photograph I took of a woman as she walked under the railway bridge in Brick Lane. It was published in my book of the same name. To make this image I first printed the photograph on a piece of old paper from a bible printed in 1860. I then worked on the image using acrylic wash and chalk.

Dancing On Brick Lane
Based around a photograph I took of a man on Brick Lane a few years ago this mixed media collage also employs two stills of a dancer I photographed at the Venice dance biennial in 2006. You can see the original in my current exhibition (see below).
