Further work

Focused above all on the politics of place, my work considers the way ideas and beliefs find material expression. Over the years I have explored sites as diverse as Neue Prora the Nazi holiday camp on the Baltic island of Rügen, airport chapels, London's abandoned BBC TV Centre, a NATO radar station on Britain's most northerly island Unst, an army officer's club in Minsk, the free-floating architecture of Silicon Valley, the French Communist Party headquarters in Paris as well as the celestially sterile design of morgues.

Working at the level of both the single image and the series, I always aim to condense and make visible the unusual and at times contentious histories and ideologies that have collected in these places. By using photography to meditate on the effects of the built environment, my work asks whether just as we inhabit architecture it might also inhabit us.
