<p>Our towns and cities are an explosion of simple shapes combined into complex structures.&nbsp; Walking through them in the early morning or late evening, when the bustle of the working day is gone, they become deserted worlds and take on a different atmosphere.&nbsp; In the absence of people, the streetlights, signs, post boxes and other street furniture acquire a new character, as if they have become stand-ins for the missing human presence. &nbsp;</p>
<p>Based on my snapshots from early mornings, late evenings or foggy days, my recent work has concentrated on the built environment in Wellingborough, Kettering and other towns.&nbsp; My paintings, drawings and digital work present some of the unworldly atmospheres I find in the most banal and overlooked &ldquo;nowhere&rdquo; places that I come across in these towns.</p>
