The Secrets of Shadows
One of my early modules at London Met was a photography project under the theme of inside and outside entitled ‘Knowing London’. As the name suggests, we were encouraged to explore London and photograph spaces that we felt responded to the theme in a literal or abstract way. Fleeting encounters with various public spaces urged me to look for a place in London that exposed itself to this theme in a very natural but ambiguous way. Seeking inspiration, I was drawn to an article ‘Hidden Gardens in the City’. It was a vague account but enough to convince me that an eerie Church at St Dunstan’s Hill near Monument might hold the answer.
