The use of photography to document the themes surrounding the urban environment has been a popular fascination, since the media's inception in the 19 th century.

This exhibition will draw on the, the uncanny images produced by William Eggleston and John Szarkowski . The critical development of modernism from Marshall Berman.

Using the concept that nature as a sanitised and fabricated, for decorative purposes - a patch of green here and there. This project will try to explore the urban subject, as a subject that is extremely recognizable and impossible to place at the same time. The works produced will consist my fascination with erosion surface, refection and the illusion of light within the environment.

Technically the panels displayed will consist of colour and black & white, layered images
