Martin Cregg's Empty spaces is a collection of pictures of perfectly empty spaces, not just physically lacking objects but also missing any colour at all. I've noticed these around me before and been obsessed with the phenomenon, we live in a world surrounded by colour so when we find a small corner where there is none, it feels strange. A lot of his images look as though they're balck and white as well, but just the smallest hint of colour to offset the feeling, this creates a really surreal image. The images are also reminiscent of insomnia 'being neither awake nor asleep', in a sort of limbo or completely empty stark space. I will also look for this kind of image around me to illustrate this eery feeling.
