His photographs and audio recordings, made over forty-five years, capture the life of England's 'great ordinary'. Challenging the status quo by working collaboratively, he has fashioned from his many encounters a nation's story both magical and familiar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNow and Then\u003c\/em\u003e includes important work from Meadows' groundbreaking projects, drawing on the archives now held at the Bodleian Library. Fiercely independent, Meadows devised many of his creative processes: he ran a free portrait studio in Manchester's Moss Side in 1972, then travelled 10,000 miles making a national portrait from his converted double-decker—the Free Photographic Omnibus—a project he revisited a quarter of a century later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt the turn of the millennium, he adopted new 'kitchen table' technologies to make digital stories: 'multimedia sonnets from the people', as he called them. He sometimes returned to those he had photographed, listening for how things were and how they had changed. Through their unique voices, he finds a moving and insightful commentary on life in Britain.
