Passage: stoke 2006

There are two bodies of work that fall under the title “passage”, both began with a very similar theme. I wanted to deal with a world close to me, the landscape of the tenement housings that I grew up in without a human subject but still showing traces of some life. I wanted to give a feeling of what life was like on an English housing estate. It seemed logical to remove the human subject to build the atmosphere. I wanted to give the viewer the impression of passing through a lonely urban setting. I wanted to lead the viewer into the image using darker tones to build anxiety.
