Sway
This work documents a recurring physical and psychological environment that exists on the suburban fringes of the modern city, exploring the relationship between people and the built world around them. Extending from locations in Ireland, to the UK and Europe, Sway highlights an increasingly homogeneous cityscape of indistinct housing estates, architecture and periphery businesses where streets merge into each other and one town drifts into the next. Sway sets out to explore this familiar urban environment, looking to a landscape where the consequences of urban planning, economic and political decisions meet with human lives head on.
