Archival Print on Hahnemühle Photo Rag Baryta, Print size 57cm x 38 cm, unframed, Signed Limited Edition Print, Numbered Certificate of Authenticity, Edition limited to 3 (plus artist print). Opened in 1970, Beechdale Swimming Baths in Nottingham was replaced by Harvey Hadden Sports Centre in August 2015. Designed by council employed city architect David Jenkin in the mid-1960s, the building is an example of the ambitious public architecture of the time, now often despised by the public. I have been swimming at Beechdale for the last 15 years, seeing it slowly decline while it remained busy and popular. When in the water, the light was often spectacular flooding through the large windows and casting shadows on the pool floor. Throughout the rest of the building, one could see the generosity with which the facilities had been planned. The photographs presented here capture the original design, as if it was photographed for the opening day brochure. But they document the traces that people have left through use and modifications over the short life time of the building and they show the people who worked at Beechdale Baths.

I make photographs. My subject is the cultural context of landscape and architecture. I am particularly interested in the traces we humans leave in our environment. Those are created indirectly through our global influence and at the same time directly through the local design of our surroundings. Although there are rarely any people in my photographs, they are always part of what is depicted as invisible agents. My works are created as project series on a specific theme. My thematic focus develops in the examination of a place, whether it is a landscape, an urban area or a building. For the project work I use an ethnographic approach focused on observation. Photographs are created in the repeated photographic examination of the physical place, whereby I draw on a view trained by my studies of architecture. With the parallel research of the background of the observed landscape I can give my projects the necessary context in accompanying texts. The outcome is a series of reflective images that approach a certain aspect of a place. I work out the photographs in my studio and often superimpose several digital files in one photograph to maintain better control over the quality of the presentation. Making my own pigment prints is an important part of my practice and up to a certain size I produce my works in signed editions myself.
