Unfamiliar Territory

Leicester is a city undergoing transformation and regeneration. Modern architecture, glass and metal, bright colours and shiny new buildings. However, you don’t have to look far to see stagnation and decline, old concrete, peeling paint and grey forgotten corners. Often the two are only a few steps away from each other This work is about two sides of the same city captured through multi layered images that contain both the new and the old in the same frame. These layered collages allow fragments to be brought together in ways that make affinities and resonances, while highlighting the differences
