Inspiration By the Quayside - Bristol, UK.

Inspiration comes in all shapes and forms...and often when you least expect it...

But shape and form is something that often draws my eye, I think that's why I love architecture so much, take for instance Canons House, on the Bristol Waterfront - Formerly Lloyds Bank Regional Headquarters, a Grade II listed building, overlooking Lloyds Ampitheatre, a distinctive  harbourside landmark with it's columns and curves, this post modernist piece of architecture was built in the late 1980's designed by Architects Arup Associates.  It is due to re-open in 2027 after refurbishment by Buckley Grey Yeoman, where the building is set to consist of multi- tenant office spaces, dining and event spaces, bringing the building back to life, updating it for a 21st Century lifestyle, connecting to the harbourside and complimentary green spaces too...I look forward to seeing it's transformation.

Something else which always draws my eye is colour and texture, I love soft muted colours and wabi sabi style textures, photographing the ropes on the quayside and the the hull of Brunels SS Great Britain, I probably look like a mad woman but hey! It's how I see the world, all these little things that I love, help me to create abstract cityscapes like the one below...
