The project ‘The World that We Created’ comprises several series of photographs looking at man made objects and the ways that man has shaped his environment. The photographs were taken in 2024 and 2025. The series include: Consumables. These include items of food, trinkets, retail models, furnishings and kitchen utensils. Dummies. Tailors’ dummies are featured in this series. They play an important role in helping to sell clothes or as museum exhibits. Many of the photographs were taken in Istanbul. Costumes. A costume is defined as outfit worn to create the appearance characteristic of a particular period, person, place, or thing. As for the Dummies series above, the photographs here are mainly of historical costumes from Istanbul. Sculptures. Making artwork in three dimensions is common to many cultures. Many depictions are of the human form but many, particularly from more recent times, are more abstract subject in nature. Some sculptures are temporary but others are permanent. Some are for the home, others are museum pieces while many may be used for decorative purposes in public buildings. The sculptures in this series were taken, amongst other places, at the Cookham Sculpture Festival at the Odney Club, the Summerleaze Scarecrow Festival in Maidenhead, the Orsay Museum in Paris, the aquarium in Valencia, and modern art galleries in Valencia and Istanbul. Street Art. Street art and graffiti and prevalent in many cities. This series depicts such activities and is divided into two subgroups: Street Art in Paris and Street Art: Valencia and Other Places. Tombs and Memorials. Remembering the dead is an important human ritual. Sometimes tombs and graves are used where thedead are laid to rest. In other places, memorials are used, particularly those to commemorate those killed in wars. Most of the photographs in this series were taken in either the St. Denis Basilica in Paris (where all the French kings and queens were entombed), or the famous Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris. All the photographs were taken with digital cameras. Click here or on ‘THE WORLD WE CREATED 2025’ series names in the menu bar on the left to view the project.
