Sample 13 Exhibition now on!

On Thursday night the Private View for Sample 13 at theprintspace took place in London. I had a great evening with a fantastic turn out and it was lovely to share the experience with friends. I also got to meet some of the other exhibitors and talk to them about their work. I always love finding out what other creatives are up to and the exhibition had such a great mix of styles and themes it was really interesting to find out more about the ideas and history behind the images.

To see more photos from the night and more information about the exhibition please visit theprintspace blog and for more information about the artists involved you can get an information pack here.

Thanks again to theprintspace for all their help and a fantastic night and to Christine Santa Ana for curating the show and giving me the opportunity to be part of such a great and diverse exhibition.

The exhibition runs until Tuesday 30th April 2013

I remember playing on a concrete tube we called 'the saddle' at my old primary school and loved it. So have fond memories of these concrete playgrounds. Unfortunately not many have survived but last November I researched and visited a playground that was still standing down in South Clapham beneath Belgravia House tower block.

Then earlier this year I visited the Aintree Estate playground in Fulham. The two tower blocks, Hartopp Point and Lannoy Point are due to be demolished this year so wanted to visit before access was difficult and the area the playground is sit...

Prince Street Car Park - Bristol

Over the weekend I was in the beautiful city of Bristol catching up with friends and photographing the stunning Prince Street Car Park to add to my ongoing Beautiful Brutalism project. The car park was designed by Kenneth, Wakeford, Jarram & Harris in 1966 and is very similar to the design of Welbeck St Car Park in London. It was a great building to photograph and I look forward to uploading all the images to my Beautiful Brutalism project over the next few weeks.
