In the course of an architecture practice, it is revealed that when one is simultaneously needed to navigate creative, practical and economic concerns the process inevitably focuses - tunnel like and singular, on one entity alone: The End. Engulfed by requirements and restrictions one might tend to overlook the importance of conceptual thought and making it as much a reality as mere form. These pieces are examples of Architecture limited by pragmatics, but aesthetically liberated in their purest, and most reductive, form. A portrayal of how one does not have to start with something complex to achieve complexity. Multiple layers of simplicity can lead to complexity and the realization that architecture is an art form in its own right.

“Starting with a commission from Creative Review to create the cover for their Annual and shot over the last 8 years. The project now incorporates 16 letters, comprising of 84 images, 4 films, a host of supporting material including 10x8 inch polaroids and permanent three dimensional pieces. Each letter is different and incorporates a different visual idea. Some primarily conceived for film, some sculpture but always made as a photograph.”
