Highs and lows – Hightown project

I’m in the final stages of preparing, editing and sequencing the work which will be shown in my exhibition at Oriel Gallery in Wrexham, of the work I’ve shot in the Hightown neighbourhood over the past month. The show will open on 28 July, to tie in with the National Eisteddfod, a week-long Welsh cultural festival which will take place in the town in the first week of August, and will remain in the gallery for a further two months. This has been a really brilliant experience – local people were extremely generous with their time and thanks to the help of a few key figures and community workers, I managed to find willing subjects without too many difficulties. The project is simply a snapshot of a small number of residents but it’s been great fun to do, and a learning experience in many ways. I’ve also made a book of the work, which can be seen here.
