Signs of a Pandemic

The whole project started after I returned to work after the summer 2020 (I teach at a college) and found all the corridors had been divided up into a one-way system, with a load of stickers of white arrows in blue circles. I started to photograph them, looking at composition, pattern and texture of the surrounding floor, putting them together into a gridded series, which sort of echoed the control and structure imposed on the people walking the corridors. I then started to notice lots of different signs on the pavements, and on the floors and windows outside and inside of shops. I started to photograph them, limiting myself to just the round signs, making the sign the centre of the square frame to make the overall look of the final typology consistent.
