I’m interested in images that don’t just show how we live, but also a way to live, with an awareness of the order of things, their rhythm, their mystery, their beauty and their capacity to yield to the unsayable – sometimes all we need do is look.

In two projects I made in 2015 my intention was to show the consistency of underlying themes and ideas by photographing seemingly diverse places and spaces that are, nonetheless, parts of a whole - a city. I turned my gaze to two intensely ‘negotiated spaces’, community gardens and the city at night. Both spaces are rich in social and political interests, and implied presences. Both of them contain beauty, mystery, the rhythms of time and season and in which an awareness of ‘the order of things’, natural and regulated, is a necessary and desirable component of their photographic representation.
