Sport
Information
This may seem a little left field considering my usual areas of interest. This folio started in the same way as the others, a desire to understand how people cope with living in poor conditions, what are the mechanisms that hold communities together and unsurprisingly, sport, scores highly everywhere I have been. What I’m drawn to is the passion it induces in people and communities, when people have little else to cheer about sport gives them that outlet and bonds people together. Often wrapped up with power, and masculinity, it has led to some fascinating award-winning commissions and personal work.
