‘Laos and Brick Lane’ – mixed media on paper (2023).

This image makes use of a number of photographs to explore the idea of place, distance and time. The woman on the left is a market trader in Laos (2018). The central figure was photographed in a cafe in Whitechapel in the 1980s and the man with a walking stick was photographed about the same time walking along Brick Lane.

I’ve always thought that one of the easiest ways to see a city anywhere in the world is from a bus. Here are some photos I took whilst on the 79 bus.

Ceasefire In Gaza Now!

November 13, 2023
‘Starmer on Gaza’ – photomontage.

The conditions at Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza are horrific. There’s no electricity. People are buried and dieing in the grounds. Babies are wrapped in blankets when they need incubators. Despite all the evidence that a catastrophic human tragedy is unfolding, that the apartheid state of Israel is involved in genocide – Labour Party leader Sir Keir Starmer only echoes the policy of the United States and calls for a ‘humanitarian pause’.

One child dies in Gaza every 10 minutes & 2 are injured. There is no safe place in Gaza. There must be a ceasefire now. Starmer has no moral compass and thinks it’s all about media games and career advancement. Starmer has blood on his hands. If your local MP is not willing to back a ceasefire at this point, they don’t deserve your vote.
