Documentary photography for Wild in Art - We Live Here Eccles
In the summer of 2023, visitors to Eccles discovered a vibrant Wild in Art trail celebrating the unique character and heritage of Eccles, which took over windows, walls and spaces in the town centre. The public art installation featured street art, paintings, murals, photography and pop up studios – all created by local artists and Eccles residents.

24 installations of artwork decorated the town and all referenced the different wildlife and people that live, study and work in Eccles.
The event was part of a huge regeneration programme from Salford City Council. Wild in Art were commissioned to work with local stakeholders to deliver a showcase of artwork, from striking installations to magnificent murals, powerful photography and stunning paintings, injecting life and colour into Eccles town centre.
Locals and visitors could pick up a trail map at Eccles Library, and various shops and cafes in Eccles Shopping Centre to explore the trail.
I was fortunate enough to document the trail and my photographs illustrate the website: https://wildinart.co.uk/events/we-live-here-eccles/
This year after the announcement of a major regeneration programme in the town, Wild in Art announced a new piece of work, a mosaic co-produced by Lauren Mullarkey and members of the local community who would be telling of their experiences of the local area and providing material from which the mosaic would be made. I visited to meet and take portraits of the contributors.
50 Windows of Creativity. An assignment for Wild in Art
This autumn, Manchester is hosting 50 Windows of Creativity, a showcase of the work of artists and makers displayed in a series of windows, venues, businesses and spaces across the city centre.

Artists and makers taking part include: Wellcome Trust prize winner Benji Reid, Manchester born mixed media landscape artist Sarah Connell and contemporary creative studio Lazerian.
All pieces on display will be available to buy directly from the artist or maker, giving a much needed boost to the city’s creative community.
The project culminates with an auction which will see a selection of pieces auctioned with proceeds going to their artists and makers, and to The Lord Mayor of Manchester Charity Appeal Trust – We Love MCR Charity which aims to help improve the lives and life chances of Manchester people.
It was a pleasure to work again with the wonderful Wild in Art after documenting their wildly successful 2018 Bee in the City project.
