‘Our economy is in a state of constant flux, as are the people who work within it, changing direction and learning new skills to survive. The buildings and structures we work in must change too. We need to adapt to the changes around us and in this process we must alter the spaces that we have.

Herefordshire’s economy has changed drastically over the decades, like many counties across England, and with this, the way in which residents utilise their built environment is constantly shifting.

By discovering and photographing these spaces I’m able to weave the past and present of Herefordshire’s economy into each image, highlighting both the fragility of our economy as well as the ability for us to constantly adapt.’
