Quotidian 3, Andrew Howe

Quotidian

I curated the Voyage of Enterprise exhibition at the Shrewsbury Market Hall to celebrate its 50th Anniversary in September 2015. As part of the exhibition, there was a digital screen installed on the balcony above the main market hall,  The screen displayed a diverse programme of images during the exhibition including:

  • Traders and people associated with the market over the years to the present day;
  • Historical photographs of the Victorian market hall and the current Market Hall;
  • Art by Pat Jones and Andrew Howe

My photographs formed a series entitled Quotidian:

Quotidian adj. 1. Daily. 2. Commonplace

This is a series of photographs of fragments of the building fabric showing its wear and tear from 50 years of use.  These familiar details are normally unnoticed and yet they have their own beauty.
