About the Work
“Having
worked
on
the
conservation
of
glass
plate
negatives,
I
know
how
fragile
they
are
-
and
how
much
detail
they
contain
compared
to
digital
files.
A
ghostly
figure
can
be
glimpsed
in
the
doorway
of
Denton's
studio,
a
building
which
still
stands
in
Lower
Victoria
Avenue,
tucked
behind
the
mainstreet
shops.”
