Double Take

Leicester (my home town) is a city which is currently undergoing many changes to its architecture and landscape. There are many new buildings and also changes to more historic parts of the city – many of these seem to happen without input from the people who live and work here. This ongoing body of work is a reflection of those changes – I have used in camera multiple exposures to capture both the new buildings and the original architecture of Leicester. I decided to use this abstract style to draw attention and to ask viewers to look again at their surroundings and consider how they feel about these developments The abstract style also reflects the unplanned and random way that these changes seem to happen.
