Current Work

I've just been reading Geoff Dyer's The Ongoing Moment where he says, talking about Walker Evan's book American Photographs (1938) that it aims to "echo the possibilities of simultaneity and random juxtaposition afforded by a pile of photographs.  You rummage in the box.  You pick a photograph and then another one and the way they are combined makes you view each of them in a different way".  This is the aim behind the work I am currently doing ....

These are more images from the Jewellery Quarter:

Walter Benjamin (quoted in Psychogeography) says in A Berlin Chronicle when talking about being a flaneur "Not to find one's way in a city may well be uninteresting and banal.  It requires ignorance - nothing more.  But to lose oneself in a city - as one loses oneself in a forest - that calls for quite a different schooling.  Then signboards and street names, passers-by, roofs, kiosks or bars must speak to the wanderer like a cracking twig under his feet". 

My friends are now getting used to my search for different types of wooden blocks - building bricks etc.
