This show considers the way in which photography intersects with architecture to frame the subject in the world. As well as looking beyond the building, examining the boundaries of the pictorialist genres of landscape through which we generally ‘picture’ our world.

Andrew’s exhibition of the project White explores the observation of light and the colour white. It addresses ways of seeing and is influenced by the practice of the nineteenth-century painter Whistler. The work aims to reveal connections between the observation of the effects of light and the way an image of a place can be conveyed. The work explores not the representation of a place, but rather an experience and emotional response to the act of seeing.

The body of work explores narrative, building a sustained sense of the place from a series of abstract white representations that aims to convey a set of ideas about the relationship between modernist architecture and place. The work extends Whistler’s exploration of the colour white, linking the artist’s work and methods of presentation, the white cube gallery space and modernist architecture. The colour white is used to bind these apparently unconnected ideas together.
