Assignment from David

When we met with David in our studio a few weeks ago, he asked us to look at the photograph displayed in the ground floor corridor, (near the print studio) and create a piece through the medium of photography that was inspired by this image, and the old stairs themselves, taking the history of the building into account also.

As my photoshop skills leave a lot to be desired, I decided to stick with a basic image and do very little editing beyond basic internet image editors (fotoflexer).

  

 

I inverted the image and layered it over the original. This is a comment on how the purpose of the stairs and how people see it has changed, but its history is very much remembered. These ideas overlap, and personally I think this simple image captures it well.
