Notes on PEELING PAINT, Brighton, East Sussex 2008

I worked as a postman in Hove between 2008 - 2010 and i walked passed this wall every day on my 'round'. It became a friend in some ways just a tree might become a friend on a familiar walk. Sometimes i give it an acknowledging nod, other times i'd pass it by without a word.

Between 2005 and 2010 I have lived in Brighton, with many and as frequent as possible trips to Wales to photograph mansions and landscape. During my time in Brighton I have on some level felt somewhat starved from the open land that mid Wales has in abundance and, therefore, also photographing. I have however all but completed a project of Brighton architecture, architecture that I found pleasing to my eye rather than follow any strict period or style, and these images were exhibited at Brighton Museum in the winter of 2008/2009. I have also photographed abstractions found anywhere from walls in busy streets or in empty buildings. I do not necessarily consider my Brighton abstractions wholly successful but have included them here because although I do not consider them on a par with earlier abstractions they must somehow, hopefully, offer some personal progression in this chosen field.
