Fisher Stevenson House

In the spring of 2000 Graham Murrell and I were asked to exhibit in Fisher Stevenson House, Suffolk, this being a newly built Eco house, which was being opened to the public through the summer.

We decided to make work in reponse to the house, family and location.

As in previous exhibitions my photographs continue to address relationships between individuals but the former neatral background is now replaced by a distinctive location. Questions arise about landscape. Whether it has to have a certain scale to be regarded as such or whether its potency can be contained within a smaller, domestic arena. I also thought about the need in us all to form some kind of connection to the land through our garden territory.

I had been exploring the potential of the pinhole camera and some of this work originated from these initial experiments. I enjoy the long exposures of the pinhole and the possibilities that this more intuitive way of working allows.
