Liverpool Urban

The artworks in this gallery were created in city centre railway stations in Liverpool.  Alongside artworks showing the familiar vibrancy and colour of the human throng, pieces in this series present a new mood created in the underground pedestrian tunnel between Water Street and James Street station.  With colour stripped back and an emphasis more on environment than on human presence, the tunnel becomes fascinating; it conveys a mystique that seems to arise from its atmospheric and spatial qualities, stirring the imagination and evoking ideas of a gateway to parallel fictional worlds. The artworks were exhibited at 30 selected public realm locations on the Merseyrail railway station network from November 2010 to 30th April 2011, as part of the Liverpool Independents Biennial 2010 and were exhibited again in June 2011 at the Bluecoat during Look11, the International Festival of Contemporary Photography.
