Soft curve, open sky

Minimal architectural photograph of a curved timber clad balcony or facade set low in the frame, with a large soft blue sky filling most of the image.

Soft curve, open sky. 2020.

A pale timber curve floats against a wide, almost empty sky, the building reduced to a single sweeping gesture and a handful of dark windows anchoring the bottom edge. I was interested in how little you need to suggest architecture, just a ribbon of vertical lines catching light and a shadow that bends with the form. The photograph sits somewhere between landscape and elevation drawing, inviting you to feel the calm of big sky space while noticing the quiet precision of the design.
