Finding notes.

I have just found a piece of paper that a Printmaker who had exhibited at uni last year gave me a few months ago. It has names of artists that he recommended to me. We spoke for 10 minutes and i'd never met him before.

I hope i meet him again, i'd like to chat more.

Bernd and Hilla Becher
A german artist couple best known for their photographic images of industrial buildings (Wikipedia)


Absolutely beautiful photographs. I like the variation on repetition, it enhances the shapes.

Latz & Partner, Duisburg

Peter Latz best known for his landscape design for Landschaftspark public park in Duisburg, Germany, 1991.

I love that the design of this park is to 'understand the industrial past, rather than trying to reject it'. And so the industrial structures of the past (specifically the steel and coal mill) as well as its' agricultural history, are incorporated into the modern design of the park.


I find it beautiful that industrial structures can become pieces of art in their original form.
