Publisher Note

These photographs were taken on the first three days of a ten day summer retreat at Vajrasana, a retreat centre in Suffolk purpose built for The London Buddhist Centre by Walters & Cohen Architects.

Soon after loading the third roll of film I came to realise that I should not be taking photographs, the point of the retreat was not to ‘do’ anything. For me photography could also be construed as ‘work’ - the one thing that we had been asked not to bring with us - and I also realised that it was a form of self- protection, a hiding place, I was safe behind my camera.

So I stopped & the retreat started............

(Experimental printing on the risograph, using combinations of layouts, juxtapositions and overlays of 33 photographs, making each copy slightly different.)
