  • Habitation

    Invoking a Cold-War future: A world decimated by nuclear war. Habiation now only exists in purpose built domes, a delicate balance of life and population. — Actually the biome at welsh botanical gardens.. slightly less apocalyptic. http://www.gardenofwales.org.uk/

  • Growing

    In amongst the fauna, metallic and cold, constructed not grown ; inorganic and organic. Asthetically symbiotic.

  • Mountains

    Terrain akin to mountain ranges; Vast; Enter a world: the source of us: A Leaf; Cells, formed and specialised for photosynthesis; Absorbing light; Creating Life.

  • 33 790

    Thirty Three Thousand, Seven Hundred and Ninety. 33 790 “Thirty Three Thousand, Seven Hundred and Ninety Eight by Marion Kalmus is a two storey inverted cone of glassy sheets, which makes it appear that the core of the building is constructed from moving water and light. Its simple beauty presents a stark warning to us…

  • Rosette

    Door decoration & mouldings #research

  • Arranged Imperfections

    Mugs. Banal, dull. Everyday life. Nothing to them. These things, objects, we drink out of. Function; container to hold liquid. Simplistic. But these. Their very purpose disposed of. Rearranged and transformed. The slight imperfections, marks, stamps alluding to another thing entirely. They’ve been… edited..

    Reflected; Layers, exposures, movement and people. Realities and dimensions. Mirrors. That lone cyclist.

  • The Window and That Chair

    Derelict, Abandoned. Unused. Forgotten. Random, and slightly amusing. That Chair.

  • William Burgess and Cardiff Castle

    The banqueting hall of Cardiff Castle. Magnificant, wonderous design and artwork adorns the walls and ceiling. Designed by William Burgess

  • Encyclopedia

    Rows of lovely big encyclopedia Brittanica’s… sitting on the shelf, full of information waiting to be absorbed, but now, left alone, unread. Books of times gone by, now an adornment. Surpassed.

  • Chandelier

    Its a shame it didn’t have real candles. Or a less modern chain. Still, one can imagine.. From Cardiff Castle

  • The life of a construction drawing

  • Geometric/ Corner II

    The underside of a spiral stairwell, triangles intersecting at seemingly bizzare angles.

  • Felled

    Once standing tall, quiet and content.

  • The Line

    The sunlight, for a fleeting few seconds, pierces the canopy. Photons, through unimaginable movements, mechanics and untold possibilities strike the ground. The tree, a great absorber, casts his shadow, a slim line, upon the otherwise bright undergrowth.
