ABOUT

As the last large housing estate to be completed in London is demolished section by section, I decided to capture key moments in the process. While walking past one morning, I was struck by the sight of the empty shells stripped bare and with the window glass removed. You could see into the rooms, and many of them were painted bright colours, or have patterned wallpapar. The way the light hit the surfaces was quite beautiful. Not being allowed access to the site for safety reasons, the images were shot over through, and occasionally under the hoardings.
