penhale  (2013 - Present)




Penhale is an ex Ministry Of Defence training camp in Holywell, Cornwall. The site closed in 2010 and has remained untouched and isolated ever since. Penhale represented a place in limbo, it exists, but has no purpose and has no prospects for future development. 

The project cumulated in a publication in which the reader is taken to the site; the journey taken is the route I took on my first visit Penhale.
