Spaces Available



Both Images: Central Leicester, August 2020


Car Parks have been a bit scarce on here in recent months, but they still represent a category of everyday urban space - worthy of consideration, in my view.  Indeed, they might be regarded as one of those varieties of 'non-space' that exude a strange poetry, specific only to themselves.

That might suggest I've donned my internal anorak, yet again.  However, I do think both of these examples (in rather different ways) exude an unmistakable visual poetry - which elevates the resulting images way above the merely documentary.




Of course, the glorious weather conditions in which they were captured don't exactly hurt either - triggering a formal elegy to stillness and interlocking shapes, and a meditation on sun flares and veiled, layered meaning, respectively.
