ABOUT COmMISSION
Estate Return
In 1991, Robert Clayton completed his social documentary project on the Lion Farm Estate under the guidance of photographer Nick Hedges at Wolverhampton University. A generation later, the original work was published in a book (Estate, 2015) and Robert was subsequently commissioned by Multistory to return to the same location. Almost three decades have since passed and Robert’s new body of work continues to explore this working class community which will be exhibited on the Lion Farm Estate.
