Bolton Abbey, Skipton, North Yorkshire, 27th July 2008. Simon Roberts
"Your suggestions are crucial to the success of this commission. They can be anything from Sunday-league football and religious festivals to family traditions and bizarre rituals; from the ordinary and everyday, to the unique and extra-ordinary.
I am really excited about documenting and working within the Bradford District, creating a new work for exhibition that the people of Bradford can feel a part of."
Simon Roberts
