the battle between industry and nature as reflected in my hometown..weeds as a metaphor for my roots,wallasey docks ,bidston valley,wirral in the north-west of england. Photographs were taken by chris shaw between 2007-2012.
This area is now under major development under the wirral waters project with chinese partners in a multi-million pound property scheme and trade hub complex. I am sure that despite the proposed high rise glass and chrome... there will still be weeds-weeds are here-weeds are everywhere!
