Analogue photography and printmaking
A series of intentionally ordinary photographs of Bampton (Oxfordshire) that formed part of an exhibition hosted by Bampton Community Archive in 2016. The whole project was an antidote to the chocolate box/jigsaw puzzle “Downton Abbey Bampton” (Downton Abbey village scenes are filmed in Bampton, where I live).
I was in New York on a business trip, the conference I was at had finished and I had hours before I needed to be at JFK. It was hot and humid and a thunderstorm was rolling through. I bought a $5 umbrella and took these photos on my iPhone 4 on a circular walk from Times Square to Central Park and down 5th Avenue. Over…
Mud, earth, tractor tracks. Muddy water. Underwater mud. Wet, dry, algae-covered.
My first, quite slim, volume of Instagram photos. November 2011 to March 2014.
This handmade 1984 book was created using darkroom prints from a single roll of 35mm film pasted into a wire-bound sketchbook.
