Imogen Woodland

This photograph of my friend and collaborator Imogen was taken at one of my favourite places in London, Wick Woodland - a beautiful strange forest patch 15 minutes walk from my London studio in Hackney Wick.

I spent many afternoons strolling around there when taking breaks from my studio.

It was also an obvious photo shoot location when I didn’t have other options.

The mask was hand-made by my actress neighbour Paula Videniece who let me borrow it for the project.

The photo was taken on a very cold winter afternoon in 2015.

I didn’t use any of the photos from this session in the main project.

February 8, 2015. Wick Woodland, London, UK.
