Something Like a Nest (Signed)

Publisher's Description

Something Like a Nest is photographed in the English countryside. Despite more of us living in cities than ever before, or perhaps because of this, the rural idyll – countryside as a place of escape and continuity – is still a potent image. But of course when you stand in a field, farmyard or village the stuff in front of you doesn’t conform easily to this cliché; it’s often more interesting than that. This is a place shaped by both the willing of bucolic images into a physical form and the expediency of the factory. Somewhere things are produced (and consumed) through a combination of the most fundamental ‘natural’ cycles and the complex technology and systems of twenty-first century global capitalism. In this book I hope to create a countryside in which these threads exist together where the noise of contemporary life bleeds into pastoral ideas and conventions.
