Steve Mepsted


Steve Mepsted is concerned with exploring complementary ways of making imagery: experimenting with the physical and metaphorical qualities of surface, exploiting analogue materials, alternative processes, time-based media, installation, books,‘zines and publications, and via social engagement. Although his primary area is in photography, he works with whatever serves the idea. A recent project pursued over the last 6 years is entitled ‘Smoke and Mirrors’ and is concerned with photographing the aftermath and events surrounding the Grenfell Tower disaster of June 14th, 2017. His current project ‘Twin Town Tales’ explores juxtapositions between 11 distinct locations. Each of these places or ‘Link Towns’ are formally connected by association. He hopes to reflect the effect that infrastructural change, national policy and local activism has on the general ‘health’, capital, assets and resilience of (these) social structures and the populace. Steve is an experienced teacher and presenter with over 30 years of practice, teaching across all levels at Morley College, London College of Communication, Kensington and Chelsea College, Camden Working Mens College and The Cuming Museum. He has exhibited widely and writes for publication in magazine, blog and book form. His writing and photographs have been published in Blueprint Magazine, Design Curial, Unseen Magazine, The Guardian Newspaper, BBC, and AP Magazine amongst others.
