JAMIE HAWKESWORTH – PRESTON BUS STATION
2019-07-29This exhibition presents 139 photographs from the series “Preston Bus Station,” in which Hawkesworth shot young people coming and going inside a brutalist bus station. The series was his first and became the foundation of his practice.
Preston Bus Station was the first place where I really looked at light. The huge bus station windows literally showed me how light moved and changed throughout the day. I began to see, feel and understand its effect, I was becoming sensitive to light. Being patient in such a transitional space began to amplify every detail. Everything became significant. In the continuous motion of people’s days, light became a magnifying glass—a tool to study and appreciate life. A cold circular space became heaven.
