My research around May Mo(u)rn began almost 20 years ago with the salvaging of some abandoned photographs of buildings in a derelict arts and crafts bungalow in London's green belt. The photographs lay in my collection, dormant, for many years, until on a return visit I found the building's name plaque, 'May Morn', buried in brambles next to the broken gate. This prompted me to consider how the homonyms, morn and mourn, suggested the relation of beginnings and endings. In their deteriorating material states, wall three - the house, the paper of the photographs, and the painted letters - pointed towards their own disintegration - or endings, and yet the buildings in the photographs were at the beginning of their lives, some with the construction scaffolding not yet removed.
