I have been working on these prints for a little while now. Experimenting with different paper,stencils and colours.I also used gold paper which to the eye looks really different than when I have photographed the image as it reflects everything back at you.Where I have experimented with the colours quite a lot I am posting them so that I can view them from a different perspective ; rather than having them hanging up and/or piled on top of each other in my flat .The original image for the work was from the Island history trust.

Although, it has a website with lots of information , it no longer has the funding so that it can continue.It was a great resource to pop in and talk to the volunteers about the changes to the area and having access to an extensive archive of photographs and newsletters.I would recommend having a look especially if you like old photographs; as I do.
They were/are a great resource to find out about the area that I live in now ; which has undergone so much change in recent years.There were docks where my Grandfather and Uncle worked and all of the industries related to that ; and now the area has gone from being a fairly desolate area to one that has Canary wharf , big banks and housing development that is going up at a rapid pace; constantly changing the environment and skyline around me.
The Photo of Island gardens is not one that I recognise due to the changes in the area ,but, I really like the idea of having a space like that in London.Saying that there is a local farm.So I can sit up high in my tower block and listen to a cow moo on a quiet day.
If you have any print preferences ,please let me know it would be good to hear what you think.
