'Close up'
October 1st - October 28th 2003

There is an intrinsic beauty in decay, in the etchings by acid rain, in decaying industrial monoliths, in gasometers and their power to inspire nostalgic longings.

Rust epitomises this deteriorating beauty. Rust, a time-based process charts the journey from an age of industry to in utility and finally to a condition of aesthetics and infinite blue, Celestial blue. A place where the ethereal is in balance with the earthly.

Now loo a little closer and see the stunning work of nature's hand.

From the decay, the sublime emerges.
