More about this artwork

Within Vestiges, Veling is primarily interested in unpicking concepts of time, proximity, memory and place. By photographing spaces as they open up within Avonside, and periodically returning to sites and re-photographing them, during different seasons and in different states of change, his desire is to build an archive of work that acknowledges and strongly conveys the history and psychology of place.
