My.Self
A photographic portrait of young people from the Black Country aged between 13 and 19 years old who are forming their identities and presenting their sense of themselves about who they are through their clothes, make-up, hairstyles and their gender. The book combines Sank’s portraits with a representation of a questionnaire that serves as a record of young peoples’ thoughts and opinions on a series of questions.

The Submerged
The imagery in The Submerged was produced within Mid-Wales in a coastal and hilly area existing at the end of the railway line. Sank was drawn towards a sense of grittiness and resolution within the geological and architectural fabric of the place, something so often mimicked in the light, colour, dramatic skies and the human performance within. Accompanied by an essay from Liz Wells.

BurntHouse Lane
The work is an in-depth portrait of a diverse community living on the outskirts of Exeter on a housing estate conceived in the idealistic 1920s to rehouse people from one of the city's slums. It was designed along Garden City lines and purposely self-contained. The book is a celebration of the diversity and individuality of the people and place – an area often maligned in the past. Accompanied by an essay from Diane Smyth.
