Document, Publicity, Commentary, Art
February 7, 2015
This post presents my thoughts on the recent CONSTRUCTING WORLDS Photography and Architecture in the Modern Age Exhibition at the Barbican London. This exhibition closed in early January 2015. I visited twice. There was much to take in at this blockbuster exhibition, which presented work by 18 photographers. I have struggled to get my mind around it all and […]
Tate Modern – Conflict-Time-Photography
February 6, 2015
I have been looking forward to this exhibition for some time. The concept of the exhibition has quite an overlap with my own work in East London. My own work does not deal with conflict, but does pose questions about what a photograph of a present day place can say, if anything, about what happened […]

I have studied Karen Knorr’s work, particularly her Belgravia 1979-1981 and Gentlemen 1981-1983 series and have cited her as one of my influences see here.

OCA Thames Valley Meeting 22nd November
November 23, 2014
Yesterday I attended an OCA Thames Valley meeting. It was a very worthwhile event. Sharon Boothroyd, my tutor, was there providing help and advice.

Study Visit – Brighton Biennial
November 5, 2014
I attended an OCA Study Visit to the Brighton Biennial Festival recently. Other priorities meant that I could only attend for one day, but it was a full and excellent day.
