The work of Fergus Heron involves photography as a way of picturing ordinarily encountered places. A view camera is used with available light to make consistently structured and detailed photographs with an intensified stillness and extended sense of time. Through interrelated, long term projects focused upon commonplace landscapes and architecture, the work explores ideas of place, uneasily seen as urban, rural, modern and traditional.
