Notes on WALL, Nottingham 1997

In 1995 I moved to Nottingham to study photography at Nottingham Trent University. For the next three years I almost solely photographed walls (with a few trips to Wales photographing mansions). Nottingham proved to be a city with rich photographic pickings providing many dirty walls with fragments of posters and peeling paint. Many of these images were taken in Forest Fields, St Annes, Radford and along Mansfield Road. Influenced by the work of Aaron Siskind.
