  • Struts


    Supporting such mighty creations,
    stretching from one shore to another,
    connecting,

    Oh, Gravity.s

     

     

     

  • One

    The first polaroid taken.

  • Two Worlds


    Two Worlds,
    Part of One,
    Symbiotic,
    Alien

  • Mirror//self

  • Its a simple Life


    And what a lovely rock to sit on.

  • Juxtaposition


    Trunks, massive, pushing upwards,
    Straight, to infinity,
    Piercing,
    Powerful.

    A contrast, mesmerising,
    A Juxtaposition of man and nature;
    Metaphorical?

  • Image


    Movement and light
    caught in shadow
    ever changing

    That Sun.

  • 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.

    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 all – etched onto the glass is the number (33,798) of plant species threatened by extinction in the year 2000.” NBGW

  • 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..

  • The Point

    Angular. Geometric. The corner of the Welsh National Opera building. Lovely bronze metal sheetings reflecting the light.

  • The Other, Other Side.


    The right side. The sculpture, The Focal Point. The asthetic. A memorial, a tribute to lives lost.

    Those Memories.

  • The Other Side


    Steel supports, ribs, constructed for one purpose but used as another. The Holes – purposeful?

  • Reflected


    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.
