Buildings

The 'Building' series continues my ongoing interest in the confluence of the two-dimensional and three-dimensional in photographic representation.  Focusing on architectural photographs as source material, I photocopy images from books and, using the innate properties of the photocopy paper (bending, folding, creasing etc), I reshape the apparent structure of the depicted buildings.  The results are then photographed and printed on a large scale.  The adjustments to the 'original' (reproduction) appear strangely architecturally plausible, absorbed into a chain of successive transformations: building to photograph to reproduction to photocopy to photograph to finished print.
