There is probably nothing that we are more determined to let pass unnoticed than our own waste and rubbish, making the 2004 series Bags all the more provocative. Showing plastic rubbish bags set out on London streets, these images invite us to focus on their colours: under the street lights or a set like sentries in the night.
