Instagrammer in Residence
Melissa Cross (March 2017)
'My images are an abstraction of the surrounding environment, using tight framing to free the subject from its surroundings'

'I am intrigued by photographs capturing scenes or environments that the human eye misses at first glance, creating a manipulation of space or narrative.'
What inspires you about the Barbican?
'It looks like an amalgamation of natural and man-made, where harsh concrete edges are softened by draping plants.
It’s the perfect place to capture the relationship between a man-made structure and its natural surroundings. I feel as if it is the people and plants living there who breathe life into it, not just the structure itself.'
