Parking No Parking is an idea still in progress.

Alongside a Photoshelter series about Britain's recession (called Bust - The Art of Recession, also unfinished), this is a collection of roadside clues about the places that motorists are encouraged to, or warned away from, leaving their vehicles.

What I like is the unkempt, the individual and the dereliction of gates and doorways where business or home-owners feel the need to leave curt and officiously hand-painted notices in an otherwise world of uniformity where the printed sign and stencil rule.

But there are also the formal parallels of parking bays that criss-cross our town centres that would otherwise been regarded as wastelands, making us keep a tidy order to our state-controlled urban lives.

By exploring these two extremes of era and modernity, I hope to produce a group that engage and interest.
