Remnants project well underway

Sitting on Herders Cross

Over the last year I have been working on a project entitled Remnants.

Remnants is a photo-study that explores mans relationship with stone and its effect on the landscape of Lancashire.

The project began with a short series of images based around the vaccary walls of Wycoller and has since expanded to incorporate stone features of varying ages from all over the old county of Lancashire.

Remnants is mainly a monochromatic work with a few treated colour images added to break up the continual moody monos. 

The photo-study is not just about stone.  Although there are very few images that include people in them (namely a couple of self-portraits) the people are there in a different way.  Their legacy is there, you just have to look from a different view point.

Another point that has shown up that I did not realise is the project follows a socio-religious path from Pagan worship sites to the rise of Christianity to it's death and the religion of captalism.

Remnants will be completed at the end of this year or early next year with the release of a self-published book by the same name.

More of the Remnants images can be seen on our fotothing and flickr pages.
