"we did not invent this" was made in collaboration with the Maindee Library.
For the project, I turned an abandoned public toilet building into an ultra large format camera and darkroom. Using colour paper and a special reversal technique, I was able to make 30x24 inch direct positive prints of people living in the area.
The prints were then exhibited at the Holbrook Studio gallery, and once the exhibition had ended, each sitter was welcome to take their portrait home.
