Among Red & Amber & Green

Among Red and Amber and Green explores London’s North Circular, junction by junction. The title, borrowed from Louis MacNeice’s Autumn Journal, echoes my fascination with one of Britain’s most congested and busiest roads, which weaves through many of London’s most diverse neighbourhoods. Drawn by childhood memories of long drives and the intrigue of familiar yet mysterious place names, I photographed the spaces that exist at its edges. The work focuses on the overlooked environments where flyovers, industry and advertising collide with canals, nature reserves and local communities. I’m interested in the contradictions of these peripheral landscapes, places shaped by movement, consumption, history and chance encounters, inviting viewers to pause and consider the fragments of urban life that usually pass in a blur.
