Artist, British, born 1956

This is a series of images depicting a suburban scene. Each image features a grassy lawn being mowed with a push mower and a parked reddish-brown van. The landscape includes gentle rolling hills in the background. The setting appears to be a peaceful, sunny day with clear skies. The photographs juxtapose action shots of lawn maintenance with a static image of the parked vehicle amidst greenery and trees. The total presentation captures a slice of everyday life in a suburban environment.
