Nine: No Vacancy

In 1984, my parents decided to take up the lease of a motel on the outskirts of a small village in New Zealand. In the early days they were very much dependent on heavy industry. In particular, an oil refinery that was under construction and a local dairy factory. However, once the construction of refinery was completed in 1986, bookings dropped off considerably.

Nine: No Vacancy is a body of photographic and oral history work in regional locations including motels and hotels. It remains uncompleted due to financial constraints.
