Some People in the Encyclopaedia of Architecture (II)
Silkscreen print on Arches 88
23x13cm
Edition of 50, series of 5 different prints
2011

In this collection of five silkscreen prints images from a 1963 edition of The Encyclopaedia of Architecture were cropped and enlarged to highlight the figures merely intended for scale. The architecture in these re-framed images becomes a backdrop for the figures who have now been placed centre-stage. These prints explore the relationship between a human scale and a grand architectural vision.
