 It has always been fun

This work emerged from an ongoing interest in care and repair in urban spaces. The title "It has always been fun" is a quote from James Q. Wilson's and George L. Kelling's 'Broken Window Theory', something that sits in the back of my mind whilst I collect images of all the weird and wonderful ways people attempt to patch up broken glass.
