Conceptual and project based imagery
This is building into a body of work showing artists in their own environments (normally their studios) which are often out of bounds to be viewed, not in the least photographed. However artist are starting to allow me into these inner sanctums and I feel privileged to record them.

The Whitaker Gallery and Museum, having recently been rescued from closure by three dedicated people, has been my focus of attention for the last couple of months.
My evaluation of the project covers not only whether it was a success but whether I have had influence on the outcomes. Not being born in the Rossendale valley and without the local accent, from a reflexivity point of view, I am an outsider. The fact that I am lurking around the place every other day with a camera does makes me stand out like a sore thumb.
