Nigel Haworth
Much of my work is concerned with transience, of periods of change and the transitions people and places go through, and the way that portion of time is seen at a later date.
I favour a measured, methodical approach to image making; often revisiting subjects and themes a number of times in order to build a series of experiences and ways of seeing from which I can draw out the essence of what I am trying to say through my work, but also enjoy including elements of fortuitous circumstance should the opportunity present itself. I have an interest in exploring the photographic medium as a form of visual expression, and enjoy experimenting with techniques and methods and the variety of often unexpected results these produce.
Oxford’s Covered Market dates back to 1774. It is a bustling place where stalls and shops, both traditional and modern, sell a range of goods from meat to handbags; flowers to model cars. There is also a range of eateries to be found.
A visit late in the day or on a Sunday brings a calmer, more subdued, sometimes eerie experience. With many of the shops closed and foot-traffic diminished, we are given a chance to linger and study some of the more unusual and quirky features of the market.
