This is a joint show with Jo Gane. Jo's word 'Alternative Suns' - the photographs in her series were shot during many long nights in the familiar landscape surrounding Jo's childhood home near Corley. A landscape, which once contained dens made in hedgerows, nature to discover, a thousand places
to explore with the innocent wonder of childhood.

We English
On a recent trip to Grasmere I bumped into Simon Roberts who I'd met at Rhubarb Rhubarb. He was working on his 'We-English' project. "We English is a photographic journal of life in England in 2008, specifically documenting landscapes where groups of people congregate for a common purpose and shared experience. It’s about what people do in their spare time, their leisure pursuits and pastimes and how people derive meaning and identity from these activities. It’s also about people’s relationship with their environment, whether their immediate surroundings are urban, rural or anything in between." Read more about the project here http://we-english.co.uk
