Prototype book, belated image.

I 've realised that I haven't posted any images of the Afterlife-Docks prototype book, the culmination of countless hours of work from the Cyrus Garden project. I'm about to 'crit' the book at the Queen of Hungary Project Space and conside rthe next steps with it. Still, most exciting. 

Reconstructing A Garden for Cyrus

I spent today in the freezing studio bringing a lush garden back to the parched ground surrounding the card image of Cyrus The Great's tomb. Perhaps not the original chahar bagh, but there are trees for shade, a few flowers and even a pool for reflection (albeit reflecting a garden pavilion from elsewhere).  I feel inspired to make Cyrus some more gardens, but the rule is that I must only use postcards and that was my one Cyrus tomb image.

Chahar Bagh 4

Back in the studio photographing shadows on the glass chahar bagh and wanting the sun to stay behind a cloud.

Rose Garden at School of World Art Studies, Sainsbury Centre Building.

From the single light source, thanks to Paul building one at the correct height. Best Rose Garden shadow yet? But is it transient enough, given the absence of sunlight? And a snowy private view....

Persian Garden Collages and Indian Postcards.

Finished two more paradise garden collages, one after 'The Garden of the Octagon'. Thinking about the postcards found in the St Helier (Jersey) fruit and vegetable market and how they connect to my garden collages. I would like to make the architectural elements such as the garden pleasure pavilions in the islamic gardens more explicit - hence "The Great White Gate " amalgam here.
