To help contextualize this project within my practice i thought it would be useful to include some of previous work produced in Sheffield. Each of these images are from 5 image series that i produced to complement each other. They where concerned with the ability of light to change the users interpretation of a given place.
The series produced in the old industrial sites of Sheffield, which where heavily influenced by James Terrel, where intended to make art out of the disused and forgotten spaces rather than just document them. In doing so I hoped to encourage consideration for creative and beneficial uses for these dirty unloved spaces.
The second series sought to highlight the forgotten beauty of many places which have become considered dangerous or undesirable to use and also to place the ideas of the other series in a context which people are familiar with.
A consistent theme that runs through my work and I feel carries through to this project is an interest with our relationships with the spaces which we create and a desire to both criticize but present Positive visions of change.
