An unclad, unpainted construction concrete wall in its raw state forms the background of distant hills and ploughed fields foreground by way of stains and markings. Three real trees and pale clouds complete the landscape. A small crumbling section revealing aggregate looks like a flock of birds in the sky.
CONCRETE - MOUNTAINS
A wall with pale beige cracked plaster forms the background. A horizon of a grey mountains is the illusion given where some plaster has broken off. In the foreground the plaster is dirty and peeling; completing the illusion of foreground rocky outcrops. Clouds, a tree, a flock of birds escaping a hawk complete the illusion of a real landscape.
PLASTER - FLIGHT
Side wall of an old village house in France, the plaster crumbling in places to reveal rough brickwork beneath. Overlaid on this ‘canvas’ perfectly blending in is a photograph of a conical brick construction with overgrown weeds on top. A swooping Hawk disturbs a flock of crows who take flight. A surreal illusion of reality.
RENDER - CASTLE HUNT
The base of this image is a beige painted concrete rendered wall with repaired patches in raw cement. A sense the original wall  gives is of a canyon with a gorge running through the middle. Composited to this are trees clouds and a small grazing deer. Within the cement fossils are to be found. To the left at the bottom of a vertical row of corner stones is discreet almost missable hilltop village scene.
WALL - FOSSIL CANYON
An ancient stone block wall with a disintegrating rusty rain down-pipe sets the background, at the pavement level, to a third the way up. green lichen and mosses grow over black staining. The pipe is like a tree trunk the green area a forest. Tree roots have been added growing out of the the paving, and densely populated real trees to complete the  suggested forest.

BLOCK - ROOTED

Black staining from city grime and pollutants mark a limestone rendered wall. Some white paint has been daubed over a part of the ‘scene’ with a broad brush. After some photoshop manipulation the scene becomes a night-time landscape looking over a golden corn field to a row of silhouetted black houses. a few Black staining from city grime and pollutants mark a limestone coloured rendered wall.
