As a child, artist Adam Taylor was often drawn to an old book of photographs belonging to his grandfather. I remember looking at it and thinking, wow that s what Hobart used to look like , he said.
The wonder he felt did not diminish and as an adult he found a new way to connect with the images, by colourising them.
