Description
Modern little building ; freestanding. This little house sculpture looks great on a window ledge, mantel piece or shelf. 12.5cm high, 18mm thick. 4.9" high, 3/4" thick. Lasercut from my original drawings using high quality Poplar plywood, then hand painted & stained with engraved lines & real copper gilding. Bare wood on reverse side. My long standing interest in landscape & architecture has always inspired my drawing & painting. Vernacular buildings, both rural & urban, domestic & functional, have found a place in my paintings for some time, no doubt also informed by time as an architectural technician. I am particular drawn to the triangular form of the gable ends of buildings, whether they be simple sheds, northern terraces, suburban 1960's bungalows, barns or giant warehouses. The move from painting to 3D forms was an instinctive urge, a desire for a more physical, tactile exploration. That exploration encompasses both the formal aspects of architectural, geometric shapes & what they mean in the sense of home, shelter, work & human endeavour & it's impact on our external & internal landscapes. I think there is also an element of play involved in creating imaginary worlds, remembering the painted wood toy building blocks of childhood.
