‘A Day In Your Life’ Exhibitions

DIYL X The Earls Court Development Company, 2024

This spring, Earls Court will be home to an incredible art programme curated by The Earls Court Development Company (ECDC). Large monochrome portraits, taken as part of BAFTA-award-winning artist Alison Jackson’s Young Artists photography competition, will be installed at Warwick Road, opposite the Earl’s Court tube station this summer.

The 3.1m tall artwork features monochrome portraits, taken by young people from the Earls Court Youth Club. Previously displayed in the Young Artists exhibition at the Saatchi Gallery, as part of Alison’s annual programme to celebrate creative talent from under-represented backgrounds in West London, this installation represents another chance to see works created by young, budding artists in the community. As part of this programme, young people are offered workshops in photography, styling, make-up, production and set design and last year’s winners - some of whom were from the Earls Court Youth Club – received prizes to help them take their talent forward.

‘Young Artists’ at the Saatchi Gallery, 2019

I’m excited for the day when I’m not a female photographer, when I get to be a photographer. When my work, as a woman, is automatically considered the same way that a man’s photographs would be. I shoot my life, the London that is my world, and the people that I see every day.
