Trevor Frankland
The influence of the past on the present can be seen in every aspect of the world around us, from human thought to the structure of landscape.
I am interested in the geometry of ‘interior space’ governed by memory and imagination where images appear and disappear as in a crystal ball but in the process create a curious perpetual present. Finding the appropriate forms so that these elusive images can have their own reality requires a combination of formal structure with descriptive detail.
In tandem with these ideas a three dimensional ‘story of shapes’ has been developed to evoke the dynamics of nature. This domestic landscape, ‘Summer River Bed Winter Flood Plain’ has been created by excavating the ground and constructing rock formations. It embodies the idea that within a world of constant change is that which is unchanging.
