ash leavesSeventh Sense II: nightnoise

slash 07, Norwich, June 2007

Using photographic imagery, an archaeologist documents his attempts at deepening his acquaintance with his 'home territory': Norfolk. But how well does he really know it, after so many years of study?

This work was exhibited at slash07, Norwich, June 2007. It represents a sequel to Norfolk's Seventh Sense?, presented at Norwich Fringe Festival in October 2006. The artist is a lifelong 'night-walker', recording his impressions using long-exposure digital photography. The images presented in this gallery draw on a small proportion of an archive of pictures taken between November 2006 and June 2007.
