Throughout my work and travels as an auteur, artist, curator and as a simple citizen I have witnessed many a sorry sight, some too painful to remember which is why the power of the image is such a positive facet of the culture of art. The lens can freeze-frame the moment and bottle it for eternity.
The art of imagery and photography in general have taken a battering over the last 10 years due to the proliferation of technological snap-machines that might take a picture, but, they fail to ‘capture’ the essence of what is being seen. With this in mind I, along with several collaborators, have compiled a glossy, fair trade coffee table book, Posterity G.B.: This Sceptered Isle’s unseen mysteries (Feedmyego Publishing, Bristol).
