Description
The Madeleine is an unusual church in Paris; more like a Greek temple than a Gothic fortress. The inside is surprisingly uninspiring: Dark and gloomy, with lots of heavy chandeliers and gold accents. Ironically what you’d expect of a Gothic church, which is more likely to be airy and full of light. This isn’t my favourite church, but I can never resist photographing the hell out of those columns.
My artworks are toner photo prints, handcrafted on 8×8″ wood blocks. To differentiate them from my regular photo blocks, I am adding a metal leaf border and a cast-metal fleur de lys clavos at the corner of each piece, which will come with a signed certificate of authenticity indicating that it is a unique print created for the “City of Delight” project. I have set the price of each piece at $75 to reflect Paris’ famous “75” postcode. 20% of my profits will be donated to UNESCO and the UNHCR at the end of 2016.
