Sometimes I see disappointed-looking people on the streets and I imagine that they are thinking, “mother was right.” This sad realisation that after all these years, that trite advice was actually good.

I took a bunch of photographs of people as they left the Casino du Lac-Leamy in Hull. People go in there with a lot of relish, but what about as they’re leaving?

I had this ‘stream of consciousness’ thing in a text file on my computer for ages. I wanted it to be a comic, but it ended up just being speech balloons. I think it lost something in the translation.
