A photographic artist based in Merseyside, who grew up in Kirkby, Knowsley. With nearly 30 years’ experience of producing public realm artwork, gallery based art and socially engaged art, he focuses on people and place (including the spaces they occupy) and how communities define themselves.
“I’m excited about exploring Knowsley’s rich agricultural past with its residents. Through accessing archival photographs to documenting the spaces of where former farms were. Hopefully being part of this worthy project and ‘planting the seeds’ will contribute to creating a better food future in Knowsley.”
