i have been visiting, photographing and drawing in the market for nearly two months. I started with little idea of what my outcome would be, whether I had the skill to produce anything more than a bundle of sketches, hurried unfinished drawings

I have produced work that I am proud of and will continue for the next weeks before the show finessing some of my drawings, finishing them and making them presentable.

I have been looking to see if I could catch any of the essence of the market, but of course its impossible, an encyclopedia would not be suffcient to captrue the subtlities of such a place. An emil Zola or Dickens may captrure some of the characters and stroies, a cartier Bresson would capture soe of the subtle realtionships, between stall holders and subjects.

I gave a print I had made of Jay a fishmonger to him,for jay, I belive it was a shock to understand that he had been seen, that someone had noticed him in the chaotic mix of the market.

I tried bery hard to show some of the colour and nuttiness of the market wares.

my regrets are my failure to capture the interplay between peopel, I hope to improve my drawing skills, I have found some kind of rhythm but I still lack in capturing any subtlety. I leave this project with a profound gratitude to the market workers, some of whom I have got to know well, all of whom made me welcome
