A closer look at the work

Red grasses and leaves fill the immediate foreground. Grey towers rise beyond them, one exceptionally slender form extending into a turquoise sky. A red tree anchors the left. Large blurred blades cross the view and reduce the architecture's apparent scale.

A low viewpoint reverses familiar city-image proportions. Plants become prominent figures and buildings a distant layer. Rather than separating nature from city, the photograph examines how proximity determines what becomes large and visually significant within a shared place.

Personal consultation

The work, the space, the presentation.

What interests you about this work? I take time for your questions, its origins and its place in a collection. Together, we explore differences between works and their relationship with space, light and architecture.

Size, selected materials and bespoke framing are carefully coordinated. The precise presentation develops through our conversation.

A photograph of the intended space can help us consider scale and placement.
