ABOUT:

"The social and psychological repercussions of deindustrialisation is the overriding theme within my work. Photographing the interiors of structures rendered nearly obsolete since the collapse of industry, such as Social clubs, tradesmen’s homes and disused landscapes where industry once was. it becomes evident these spaces are manifestations of the experiences of a population who’s purpose has been stripped from them. The condition of these interiors is indicative of something further underlying than old furniture. Evidence of a communities isolation becomes clear, with these interiors reflecting the disenfranchised, detached psychology of individuals who were once part of the powerhouse of industry and the country. These interiors reflect the interior of the occupant."

SUPPORT WORKING CLASS CREATIVES (1).png

'Working Class Creatives' responds to a need which is too often overlooked in the arts; that of the barriers facing working-class artists from getting on in our sector. They are instrumental in initiating much-needed change that will see the art world become more inclusive and reflect the society it purports to serve. I often search their database in my research, it is a vital resource for any arts professional working in culture today. That they have got this far on so little financial resource is remarkable and I am excited to see what they will achieve with further support.” Beth Hughes, Curator, Arts Council Collection.
