Spitalfields Rooftops
This image is based on a photograph I took on the roof of some flats in Hanbury Street near to Brick Lane in the early 1980s. Since then the view has changed considerably with the encroachment of City offices into the area.

Brick Lane Portraits
The collage below is made from two pages torn from my book ‘Brick Lane’. During the lockdown I was self isolating and unable to indulge my passion for street photography. I found myself digging into my archive, revisiting images and experimenting with collage. I’ve been collaging since the 1970s but lately it’s become a major feature of my practice. I remember getting annoyed with picture editors when they cropped my photographs back in the 1980s. Now I’m tearing images up, painting over them and altering them in many different ways. It’s been quite a journey!

The statue of Menkaure and Queen Khamerernebty II
The serene Egyptian statue of Menkaure and Queen Khamerernebty II was unearthed on January 18, 1910 and is the inspiration for the above work. A sense of eternity and immortality flows from the statue so I decided to incorporate electric pylons and a Moroccan woman on her phone into the composition. The nearly life size statue dates from 2490–2472 B.C.E.
