Abstract

The big big camera manufactured by the company of Hunter Penrose of London somewhere around 1920, has been in the collections of Gallery Oldham since it was retrieved from Rome Mill in Springhead in 1990,where it had been used
in the printing of wallpaper.
These cameras were made specifically for the printing industry and consequently once installed were probably never moved again.
As the artist in residence for Gallery Oldham, I spent a couple of months getting the camera to work and then took it out on location photographing the local area. The project was supported by Arts Council England, Gallery Oldham & Ilford
