DARK DAYS, LUMINOUS NIGHTS

DARK DAYS, LUMINOUS NIGHTS In 2019 I was commissioned by Manchester Collective to produce a collection of stills and a film, exploring the ancient and haunting Irk Valley in Manchester. The project was exhibited at Salford’s The White Hotel in June 2021. This was the Manchester Collective’s summing up of the project. “It’s 2021. Manchester. Gleaming apartments rise up over the ancient river Irk, and under the prime real estate of Angel Meadow, 40,000 bodies are buried. Cities change. […]

BLUEPRINT STUDIOS, COLLIER STREET 7.18AM

BLUEPRINT STUDIOS, COLLIER STREET, 7.18AM The windows of Blueprint Studios glowed red, like a 4 bar electric heater. Behind me, an upstairs room in The Eagle Inn beamed bright tungsten light towards Trinity Way, like a lighthouse for those stumbling in search of the past. Behind both brick buildings the new, taller version of ancient Greengate had emerged, not quite facing in the same direction. I considered if the demolition of the Victorian architecture, and the emergence of the tower […]
