“Photography projects can ‘work’ in any number of different ways. Most often in book form they are treated as a kind of narrative, that is, a sequence of images in a particular order intended to tell a particular story. Of course, photographs don’t allow for the kind of detailed exposition we see in cinema or in novels, so these narratives operate under a very different set of constraints, and yet the substance of the work in question often comes precisely as a result of its (narrative) form. A good example of how narratives can serve more than just a strategic purpose is Marcus Haydock’s recently published Insurrection, which relies on what is, for him, a characteristic indirectness to create a very powerful mood that has been cultivated and shaped into a distinctive mode of expression. It is not, at the same time, entirely without precedent; the vein of subjective photography in which he works has a long, if recently somewhat neglected history and Haydock has mastered the sort of open-ended vocabulary that the genre demands.”

Insurrection | Marcus Haydock

Insurrection was created from an edit of 70 photographs drawn from work that was made over a two to three year period, I made images intuitively whenever and wherever I happened to find my self.   Moments that are felt, sensed, and which become a record of my subjective experience.

Vanishing Shore | Marcus Haydock

This project was commissioned in 2006 by The Faversham Society with the North Kent Local Authorities Arts Partnership (NKLAAP). The project was initiated in response to the rapid transformation taking place in North Kent brought about by The Thames Gateway Development and my brief was to record the changing landscape and particularly the place of water in the urban and rural areas of that landscape. 

In his introduction to the Vanishing Shore catalogue David Chandler wrote of this work,

“rather than articulate an unequivocal world, it recognises that world more as we actually see it, that is through the filter of our emotions and ideas; a world which is in fact full of ambiguities and inconsistencies, one that is prone to fluctuate from one moment to the next.“

The work was exhibited in a series of six exhibitions in different locations throughout the region and is my own personal response to the environment that I was asked to photograph.
