Street Project 'WAIT'

Inspired last year by a portrait made just around the corner from where I live.

The Lady camping out in the kerb, near to her house, waiting for a skip to arrive.

Having drawn a conclusion to my earlier Street project, PHONE, a new challenge appeared.

I became interested in the “State of Flux’ that exists within our daily lives, when we are made to stop maybe our journey or even to receive something. Thus causing us to be locked into a situation where, for the most part, we are then enabled to continue.

One image that struck me during the process I began, earlier this year, was of a young woman, while waiting to cross the street on the way to work, closed her eyes momentarily to feel the early morning sun on her face. Almost a moment in meditation, yet within a normal daily routine.
