The Grass has been cut, the trees are losing their leaves, the bike has lost its saddle, but after just over 3 months, The Girl at Hackney Downs Junction and The Boy on Cecilia Road, Dalston, remain untouched.

The Photographers' Gallery transformation...

The Photographers' Gallery Sep 2010 - Nov 2011

I have been documenting the transformation of The Photographers' Gallery on Ramillies Street, London, since Autumn last year when the building work started.

The above images were taken from the roof of one of the buildings opposite. I have also spent a fair bit of time taking photos on site, hi-vis jacket, hard hat and all. Here are just a few of them...



You can see more images of the changing building on The Photographers' Gallery Flickr page or website.

The Girl and The Boy

At 6am on 12th August two series of images, The Girl and The Boy, were posted onto two disused Hackney notice boards about half a mile apart from one another. They show two narratives, separate from one another yet intertwined. Children at play, absorbed in their own world of dreams and fantasy.

The Girl at Hackney Downs Junction


The Boy from the project Time stands still when I think of you

The Boy on Cecilia Road, Dalston

On the afternoon of 12th August these two narratives came together in the seaside town of Margate, to form The Siblings. Displayed as three diptychs the relationship between the girl and the boy changes, familial connections forming, and the act of child play overlapping.

Installation photos to follow.
