Among Red and Amber and Green

Greg White

Greg White’s personal series “Among Red and Amber and Green” explores London’s North Circular, junction by junction.

The title, borrowed from Louise MacNeice’s Autumn Journal, echoes Greg’s fascination with one of Britain’s most congested and busiest roads, which weaves through many of London’s most diverse neighbourhoods. Drawn by childhood memories of long drives and the intrigue of familiar yet mysterious place names, Greg photographed the spaces that exist at its edges.

The work focuses on the overlooked environments where flyovers, industry and advertising collide with canals, nature reserves and local communities. Greg’s interest lies in the contradictions of these peripheral landscapes, places shaped by movement, consumption, history and chance encounters, inviting viewers to pause and consider the fragments of urban lift that usually pass in a blur.
