      Beginning in 1985, the Manchester-based Documentary Photography Archive (DPA) commissioned photographers to capture aspects of British society in northern England. Tom Wood’s work focuses on the life and demise of two significant institutions near Liverpool: Rainhill Psychiatric Hospital and Cammell Laird shipyard. Established in 1851 as a lunatic asylum, Rainhill became the largest hospital complex in Europe by 1936. Wood began photographing there in the 1980s when UK policy shifted towards “Care in the Community.” By then, Rainhill had diminished, with wards combining various patients. The DPA and mental-health charity Mind, which criticized conditions at Rainhill as “wholly unacceptable,” asked Wood to document the hospital’s closure and the transition of its patients into the community. Cammell Laird shipyard, with a history dating back to the 1820s, was known for building famous warships and aircraft carriers, including HMS Ark Royal. When Wood photographed the yard, it was facing closure, with a demoralized workforce striving to save their jobs as HMS Unicorn, the last Upholder-class submarine, was completed. The main volumes of Wood’s work include historical archive material related to both institutions, while a third volume features late nineteenth-century photographs of Rainhill patients. Together, they document a period of upheaval in Liverpool marked by industrial decline, community breakdown, and evolving healthcar

      These three volumes of Tom Wood’s new work, Landscapes, are drawn from the artist’s extensive unseen and unpublished landscape work. The first volume concentrates on Wood’s photographs made in response to the West of Ireland, County Mayo, the landscape of his birthplace and childhood and an area he has returned to as an artist almost every year since 1975. Taken over decades, views of this wild and remote landscape, many of them glimpsed from the car, bus or train during his journeys there, are combined with fragile fragments of surviving family photographs, video stills, and intimate and affectionate portraits of day-to-day life within a rural community. The second volume consists of Wood’s landscapes predominantly made within Merseyside, where he lived and worked for 25 years, from 1978–2003. In this more urban environment, his landscapes encompass pictures of people’s homes and gardens, parks, wastelands, and the river Mersey. Wood moved to Wales in 2003 to address what he has referred to as “the matter of landscape.” His open and experimental approach to photography means he is constantly pushing its formal and conceptual possibilities. Selected from the photographs he has been making in Wales, the third volume is the most formally abstract of the three books and includes many photographs taken with a panoramic camera — complex, optically rich pictures with multiple points of view and focus.
