Go back to estate in tottenham and photograph the overall environment as well as showing a large shots of the estate focus on small close up details of the estate that can then be worked in and on top of. 30/03/17
Consider photographing nice areas nice housing that can then be distorted bleached worked on top of using graffiti ect. Look at the idea of different housing within the same area and consider the effect of gentrification on the environment of your chosen area. Areas to look at 1) Tottenham 2) Millhill 3) Woodgreen
Think about the idea of layering up these images with a opaque housing estate images underneath the new buildings representing the changing face of London and slow erosion of old housing estates.

1) Completed your nature response but I would like to see a few more enlargements that shows the overall picture ie the sides of the white background showing the context to the image
2) Photograph more estates ie your grandmas estate in n17 or bounds green on the 221 bus route , experiment with photoshop and also physically working on top of the photographs. Use wire wool and paint to scrub at the photo and then wash light colour over certain parts then rescan this back into photoshop and work into more. Photograph more graffiti that can be photoshopped into your pictures consider visiting leek street graffiti tunnel in water loo or south bank
