‘Reflections’
‘Reflections’ explore the landscape around the
city of London. The concept for the project was developed after I was asked to
consider a commission, to produce 16 landscape photographs, to be hung in a
city law firms head office - meeting rooms. I decided to create a set of images
that would tell a story about the streets that could be seen from their
building. My intention was to inform the user and visitor of the building, to
both small nuances and indeed historic fact. The series developed and became a sequence
of mirror images of what the viewer could see, looking out of the window where
it was hung, and hence the title ‘Reflections’ was conceived.
Each
photograph in the series is layered with commonalities and the viewer has the
option to approach the photographs from various perspectives; perhaps as a
single image or the project as a whole.
Each
photograph is titled with the postcode from where it was shot and each
photograph is accompanied with a small piece of text exposing a piece of
history or fact about the location of where the shot was captured.
The image shown here is shot in Stratford exactly 1271 days before the opening of The Olympics - the timeline was an important part of the image as London prepared for one of the largest sports events in the world.
Each image from the series is available as a Limit Edition Print in 2 sizes
1) 750 x 597mm (24' x 18') of an edition of 9
2) 1379 x 1074mm (48' x 36') of an edition of 3
