In my mind, it is essential to base my observations on the reality immediately around me.\u00a0 To enhance the fact that my pictures are rooted in the real, I have added the precise location of each image. In some cases, I have created an imaginary place that represents elements of a city but can&#8217;t be located on the map. These pictures represent a particular feeling of a place.

A Walker City image could be of shoppers on a busy high street or reflections of light on the water. One thing they have in common is a search for contemplation and stillness. I first started developing this idea while I was at art school, so I have been making work that fits the Walker City theme since the 1990s.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-7acb279 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"7acb279\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-9d400c7\" data-id=\"9d400c7\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2ad5921 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2ad5921\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The locations that fascinate me are hidden from plain sight, but they ask to be revealed.
