Greek Gate
A a photographer I’ve always been aware of the innate beauty of ordinary things. This piece grew from a photograph I took recently in Greece of part of a metal gate. When I first saw it I was reminded of a Rothko colour field painting. Probably that was a good start for the development of this piece. My intervention with the two blue stripes were prompted by the arbitrary spots of blue that seemed to emerge from specs of rust on the gate. The composition was linked together by a collaged torn strip of paper from a yellow bag used in a bakery.

Brick Lane Shopping
The woman in this work (photographed in 1983) could often been seen at the Sunday Brick Lane and Sclater Street market in the early 1980s. She would wheel her pushchair around the market looking for bargains. She was particularly fond of stuff left behind by stall holders. There wasn’t much of a working life left in the push chair when this photograph was taken.
