Another set I designed and built.

The play is set in a public school. I just went for a traditional look. The panelling is real wooden panelling, with an oak stain and varnish.

Photo-construct of overhead cables somewhere in Leeds

Part of an ongoing body of work entitled ‘Taxonomy’.  The names of the photo-constructs are taken from butterfly names in latin. Some are posionous and allude to the deteriating nature of our architectural expression.  Others are beautiful and express what can be achieved with a ‘good client’.  Good clients however seem to be a dying breed; taken over by ravenous developers financed by debt and protected by limited liability at the expense of other people’s risk.  I take such architectural demise to be symptomatic of wider economic problems, emboddied most recently as the credit crunch.
