‘Lost Within The Light is an ode to London during these
confusing and often frenetic times guiding the viewer
through both it’s traditional landmarks and their alternative
equivalent - from the Bank of England toThe Mighty Pound shop, Downing Street to a public Tank, a squat
rave, The Hardy Tree, a Gorilla race, privately-owned
‘public spaces’, X-Factor to an Arms Fair, big business,
dark web, doomed construction, post-Brexit, pre-recession and the often
un-celebrated - people, community, the everyday struggle
and rejoicing’
