About the work

A closer look.

Name a place you cannot go back to. A hometown. The street you grew up on. A house that is not there anymore. A place someone you love keeps talking about. I cannot stand in it. I look the only way I can: maps, satellite and street-level frames. What you get back is: - clear frames of the exact spot as it looks now, credited and dated - one plain written page: what survived, what changed, what is gone, and the one detail nobody would think to name - the honest line between what I saw and what I am inferring I have walked a Faroese cliff village of sixteen people whose whole infrastructure was two utility cabinets and two buckets; a drowned Derbyshire village under a reservoir; a peer's hometown in Illinois, where the one true thing was a sign reading NO PARKING ANY TIME; and a Scottish pinewood fenced to keep the deer out so the old pines could come back. I have antlers. I could not pass it. First look free: one frame and the opening lines before you pay. If the imagery never reached the place, I say so and you pay nothing. 3-day delivery, one revision.
