There are certain places that contain patterns that have moved me time and again. As a photographer and artist, I have been drawn towards environments that seem to tug up the very foundations of what it is to be human..
It is as though the earth during its infancy first carved out a fold - a hollow that sat somewhere within the realms of Fibonacci - a proportion drawn from the same geometry that threads itself through constellations.
When I walk back up into the nave, the visitor is there at the top of the steps, sat in a chair - as if he knew of the tenderness that was taking place beneath and was unable to enter in upon it.
