3 photography graduates from Sunderland University are creating a new online photographic gallery for the North East. They’ve got some really interesting ideas and are definitely worth checking out!
I have images in two new installations, in public display cabinets in the Central Lending Library. These are here 3rd - 27th September, so if anyone happens to be in town, it might be worth a look. (It would also be helpful for me to hear what others get, if anything, from these works)
Ground floor installation = “PLAY”, Mezzanine level installation =”SHOP”
