If Atget's images capture the 'adaptable, recyclable city', Wentworth's are a celebration of the pragmatic, of an irrepressible DIY human ingenuity. As one writer has suggested, 'no object exists in the world that cannot be used, reused, disassembled, altered, or adapted once it has served its original purpose...no, even while it serves its original purpose'. The fact is, economising and improvisation are basic human traits...or as Wentworth says: it's about making do, getting by.
