45 Minutes North, 2022

‘An interesting sight

In this ghost like town,

Yet dissembles all room for understanding’ – Soph Kendall

Rural and urban scenes from two different locations allow for ‘45 Minutes North’ to question my understanding and familiarity of Britain after moving across the country, opening the floor to others. Following two major changes to modern Britain in the form of Brexit and the Covid-19 pandemic.
