Project One: Background. Record 5 Horizons from Greenwich Bankside




Horizon from Greenwich Pier to the East. Interestingly shaped flats on the north bank of the river contrast with the industrial south bank with a horizon of cranes and gas container. The river seems particularly wide at this angle.
Horizon towards Canary Wharf across Convoys Wharf site. Looking at the contrast of the derelict building site against the backdrop of the shiny, new buildings of Canary Wharf on the Isle of Dogs. I used different shaped marks to give shade to the near trees, the pile of rubble and plant material in the foreground.

Horizon of Dutch gable houses along Borthwick Street. These white fronted houses of Payne's Wharf had a deep blue sky behind, making the gable frontages stand out as a stunning silhouette.

Horizon towards the Cutty Sark. This became a multi-layered horizon of history. Industrial buildings of the 1900s, the early 1700 Royal Naval College, the 1902Greenwich foot tunnel dome and the renovated Cutty Sark opened in 2012.
