Project Description
One Year is a project through which the artist intends to construct a daily photographic record of a single view: the view from his study window at around 8.00a.m. each day when he sits down to work. One Year will annotate each picture with a note of the weather for that morning and the morning’s main news headline from the BBC News site. In addition, there will be a note taking a key sentence or two from the artist’s daily journal.
