Creative lockdown: Simon Strange

By Lowie Trevena  Wednesday Apr 15, 2020

Simon Strange is part of the ongoing Bristol24/7 Creative Lockdown series, showcasing how people in Bristol have been getting arty under lockdown.

Simon Strange, who lives near to Stokes Croft, has been taking photos of an empty Bristol during lockdown.

The PhD researcher and music lecturer and Bath Spa University has been taking the photos during his daily walks, and was “inspired by the sense of isolation and ability to see regular spaces without the normal level of people in them”.

He has taken photos all around Bristol, including next to the Arnolfini, at the Downs, under the Ashton gate flyover and in Castle Park. The women in the photos is his partner, Emma.

Simon is continuing to take photos throughout lockdown.
