These are part of a series of pieces that look at the idea of place and our relationship with it in terms of identity and history.  I am interested in the idea of landmarks – structures we use to identify the areas we inhabit and how we negotiate our way through them. 

Landmarks, by their nature, are deeply subjective: a landmark is only a landmark if we are familiar with it. We can be reading on a bus and yet at any moment know our location precisely by a glimpse out of the corner of our eye. Petrol stations, tower blocks, satellite dishes or half decaying structures in the river help us to pinpoint our location and are enormously significant in defining our connection to our environment.
