the grenfell legacy
I first visited the charred remains of the Grenfell Tower in Notting Hill, London, on the morning after the fire took its terrible toll.
I carried on documenting the aftermath of the tragedy during the following years, which moved me to write a poem: Requiem 4 Grenfell edited as an audio-visual with my images and a voice-over
by Alex Etchart.
I was then moved to follow part of the trail that led to inadequacies in many other council properties; a quest that inevitably took me to explore some of the broader issues that have created the huge social housing crisis in London and the rest of the UK. My initial reportage on those topics was published in Trebuchet magazine.
