Taken from the window of a north London flat, Garden is an ongoing record of a downstairs neighbours garden. Since starting the series in 1998 the garden has had three owners. The images, always taken from the same position, reveal the stark contrasts between the seasons, charting over time the changes in ownership and changing relationships to the garden.

The Ball photographs record three-dimensional constellations placed into existing and often transitory or semi-permanent spaces. The placement of the balls, and the constellations they create, form subtle planes that touch, and at moments, envelope the space with their presence.

These homemade celestial planes, tilted through the floors, sills and surfaces of each scene disrupt and transform way we see, creating a sense of stillness, drawing our attention slowly around the scene, mapping out new patterns and connections.
