Gary Green's series Terrain Vague explores the empty, often abandoned spaces that disrupt the otherwise cohesive flow of streets, buildings, and public spaces within urban landscapes. Green explains, "These photographs do not present us with beautiful or idyllic spaces. The images are filled with a sense of passage, decline as well as the ordinariness of utility pared down to the basics: the piling of soil, the scraping of the earth, the fencing in of property. Some of them are layered so that trees and brambles hide a home, a human story. These are the spaces we barely bother to notice, all the more reason to give them our heightened attention."
