Drawing inspiration from Knowle

By Vicky Attwell  Thursday Mar 31, 2016

Knowle is a place that I spent 11 years of my life. Now as I have spent my formative years outside of the area I have come to realise that it was a big part of my development. 

Whilst studying a BA Honours degree in Photography, I was looking for a subject matter which I could relate to. Knowle was that subject matter. 

Knowle was an area which many people would have seen as rundown. However, I have witnessed parts of the area becoming more prosperous.  

Independent journalism
is needed now More than ever
Keep our city's journalism independent. Become a supporter member today.

Within these images I wish to document the area as I see it, using black and white film to create concentrated photographs. 

I have decided to call this project 0117 as this is the phone area code that would be recognised by those who know Knowle best. 

To see more of  ‘0117’ and other degree students concepts visit www.facebook.com/events/1741908672707857/ to find out information on our exhibition coming up.
