I
have become increasingly keen on architecture through photography.
I enjoy many of the older architectural styles and especially rustic subject matter and this
has inspired me to make this a real area of passion in my artwork.
I
explore this area through an increasing desire to make something intregingly creative and elegant
for the wall. I enjoy commission work as much as my own ideas. I enjoy being able to create a
portrait of your house to a study of
your business premises. An impressive talking point
in your foyer or boardroom. Currently I am exploring all aspect
of buildings, from the material source through to individual details
and grand frontage studies.
In architecture I especially admire the skill of stone masonry. It is incredibly skilled
and is three dimensional artwork adorning a building, showing real
detail and lasting for hundreds of years. Sadly stone carving is
a dying skill and it is unusual to see modern carvings of the same
skill as those on many historic buildings.
I
hope in my work, to express my admiration for trades such as stone
masonry which are now less apparent.
