This simple looking image is the result of lots of hard work – it’s crafted from a set of images stitched together. The original picture is now massive would fill a wall without looking at all pixely. I really like it a lot. This might be because of the effort involved in building it and the knowledge this has so much potential to print really big. I am hoping I just like it because its full of drama and reminds me of classical biblical paintings – only time and some expensive printing will tell…

Years later, on the edge of a storm and alone, this visit felt like wandering through a wonderful and abandoned gothic film set.
