About this

A B & W image shows a view of Keith Armstrong's head as he peers through the metal mesh wall in the guard's van of a 1980s commuter train - A middle aged white man, he is wearing glasses and a zip up coat with a high collar. The image is constructed to make it appear that he is in a cell or cage. He is alone. He looks at the camera with a quizzical expression. The image is "peeling" from the page from one corner and the title of the piece appears to have been handwritten in crayon. Produced as part of his campaigning for accessible transport
