Broken wood

Melvyn Jones

This work is a response to our impact on green urban spaces, which are vital for our physical and mental wellbeing, but our presence directly through footfall, and litter has a deleterious impact on the ecology and viability on these spaces. To represent this tension I have photographed my local woodland- Queens Woods in Haringey. The photographs are of trees & anemones using an Edwardian roll film camera and printed on handmade paper using photo emulsion and installed on branches.
