Island of Strangers - rough edit (1 new item)
Island of Strangers is a photographic document of the impact of the European Union's 2004 enlargement legislation on the peoples of the Fenlands of East Anglia. The legislation created a new, deracinated workforce in the UK mainly from Eastern Europe. Essential to the economy yet existing below the public gaze, this demographic often lives in parallel rather than in conjunction with the indigenous population. My photographs aim to capture the experiences of this community as it meets the culture and traditions of the settled population and they both navigate a rapidly changing economic landscape where globalisation means that workers are increasingly regarded as fungible, replaceable assets, who can be compelled to scurry around the world at the behest of corporations and governments.

Walsingham Whitsun Pilgrimage Protests (10 new items)
Evangelical protestors picketing the the annual Whitsun pilgrimage to Walsingham, Norfolk. The protestors object to the Anglican church's refusal to adhere to the 39 Articles Of Faith. The Articles are a set of statements defining the doctrines and practices of the Church of England, established in 1563 and finalized in 1571. They reflect the Anglican Church’s theological position during the English Reformation, balancing Protestant and Catholic influences. Amongst others, they forbid the worship of idols, and doctrines like purgatory, indulgences, and veneration of relics.
Waiting for the first customer of the day, Baxters Chip Shop, Long Sutton, Lincolnshire.
In 2023, the word 'spudflation' briefly entered the lexicon. A summer drought followed by heavy autumn rain resulted in one of the lowest potato harvests on record. The poor weather was compounded by rising energy costs caused by the Russia-Ukraine war and labour shortages at home after the threat of compulsory vaccinations following the Covid 19 Pandemic saw an exodus of migrant workers from the UK.
Some farmers reduced or abandoned potato planting altogether in favour of more lucrative crops such as oilseed rape. The situation worsened in 2024, with the wettest 18-month period since 1836 (October 2022 to March 2024) causing significant delays in planting and harvesting. Waterlogged fields prevented machinery from operating effectively, and some crops were left to rot. The National Farmers' Union and potato growers like Albert Bartlett warned of "spudflation"rising costs due to limited supply, with prices exceeding £1 per kilo at times, a 30-year high.
The 2024 harvest came in at around 4.14 million tonnes, one of the smallest in recent history, further strained by a reduced planting area ,down 10-15% from 2022. The National Federation of Fish Friers noted that 2023 and 2024 were among the most expensive potato years since 1976 , with forecasts for spring 2025 suggesting chip shop prices could reach £20 per 25kg bag of potatoes, up from £15-£17 pre-drought.

Island of Strangers - rough edit (5 new items)
Island of Strangers is a photographic document of the impact of the European Union's 2004 enlargement legislation on the peoples of the Fenlands of East Anglia. The legislation created a new, deracinated workforce in the UK mainly from Eastern Europe. Essential to the economy yet existing below the public gaze, this demographic often lives in parallel rather than in conjunction with the indigenous population. My photographs aim to capture the experiences of this community as it meets the culture and traditions of the settled population and they both navigate a rapidly changing economic landscape where globalisation means that workers are increasingly regarded as fungible, replaceable assets, who can be compelled to scurry around the world at the behest of corporations and governments.
