Roads & Flowers

Stones, lies & torches

Sheffield, UK

  • A site-specific work, exploring the faultlines of local history and myth in the creation of community and sense of place. The work was built upon of a series of chapters, created in physical form at public events where local residents arranged and resequenced fragments of stories and fantasies relating to the area. These photographs were then collected and published as a “photographic novel”.
