Saffron
Walden was home to Edwin Smith & Olive Cook, to whom a
section of this web site is dedicated.
Following Olive's death in early 2002, I re-visited the town where they had both lived to view a small memorial show held by the Fry Gallery.
I was sad at her passing, but as I wandered around the town afterwards I thought of all the fantastic books, photography, artwork and writings the two had produced in their lifetimes and the inspiration that Edwin's photography had given me, alongside Olive's ceaseless encouragement of my work.
This picture was made that day in the churchyard at Saffron Walden and invokes many 'Edwinisms' when I look at it - all it needed to complete the homage was a cat.
