Staff member Alan has chosen this photograph by Hannah Starkey as his favourite collection item.

Alan said ‘I love the way Starkey presents little moments of ordinary life in a beautiful and mysterious way.  Her photographs usually show women in everyday settings and many of them could be images from films. They allow the viewer to make up stories about what might be going on.  In this image, of a roadside café, the viewer could imagine what the woman is doing, where is she, where is she going, is she waiting for someone or has someone just left?’
