Fragments of Sidmouth was a collaborative project with the Sidmouth School of Art on the theme of A Sense of Place. The composite image of 36 different architectural “fragments” was exhibited on the Sidmouth School of Art billboard in Sidmouth during October and November 2021.
Photographing architecture is a voyage of discovery. The more you look, the more you see. You discover the embellishments, notice the symmetry, find that “perfect viewpoint” and hopefully capture the essence of the building or at least some part of it. This project was a great way to come out of the photographic doldrums post covid.
The billboard artwork and the individual images reveal details of some of Sidmouth’s buildings; they appealed to me for their graphic qualities. Some are decorative, some less so; but between them I hope that you will see something of Sidmouth.
The project took about eight weeks from inception to the point where the composite image was ready to be printed – it was 6 m wide and 3m high.
