'Amongst the city’s dereliction,
Bloom the gardens of the night,
Easing fear and hurt and sorrow,
Bringing back delight.'

‘Gardens of the Night, 2007, wire-edged, side-bound, hard covers, limited edition 50; 18X13X1cm, £35

This book grew from a period of sadness in my life. It seemed right to juxtapose the smashed windows of the local derelict factory with images from my garden.
