Piccadilly Circus (Photo joiner / collage) - Limited Edition of 1 Photograph

This joiner is pretty much the first joiner I created. Inspired by the David Hockney technique, and reading an article on 'joining' I decided to take my camera out and give it a go. For me Piccadilly Circus epitomises the whole reason behind why joining works for me, I'll try and explain... If you've ever been to London, and used the tube (underground/subway) and you've exited at Piccadilly Circus then you may be familiar with the sudden overwhelming riot of colour, noise, sound, traffic and people that assaults the senses as you exit the tube. It was as I was stood motionless, overwhelmed, taking it all in that a single detail caught and held my eye, it was one of the big advertising screens, and it was this detail forming memory which led me to the conclusion that a joiner would be perfect way of collecting and collating these individual 'memories'. That taking multiple photos of a single scene rather than one single photo would enable me to record multiple 'memories' and details and draw them all into a single image. And that should this joiner ever be printed that as a whole it would offer a familiar-ish landscape, but up close it would let the viewer see the individual memories which make up the landscape, almost forcing the viewer to see the detail. I remember clinging on to the outside of the railing with 3 lanes of traffic racing past me, close enough to almost clip my shoes at times - I was almost hit by at least one cyclist and motorbike courier. The real challenge with this joiner was removing all the vehicles, a lot of the buses and lorries blocked much of the scene, plus the joiner would have looked odd with lots of halves of cars and lorries, so, I stood, risking life and limb, for far longer than was safe to ensure I captured this landscape joiner in its entirety. **Special Note - Only the original will receive the artists signature as proof of authenticity** What is a 'joiner'? A joiner is a series of digital photos taken of a subject (landscape, person or item) which are digitally 'treated' and then arranged using computer software to create a large single digital photo. When printed the 'joiner' tends to be very large by virtue of it being made up of multiple full size photos (anything from 20-70 individual photos). Printing (prices available upon request): The buyer is able choose from the following printing materials: Canvas, Fabric and PolyCril. - Canvas - Artex Canvas is a high-end light weight, extremely strong and flexible canvas substrate. The material is easy and beautiful to print on using solvent, eco-solvent, UV, Latex or screen printing. - PolyCril - A canvas-ish texture which gives a soft, non-reflective quality for premium feel, it's made from non-PVC materials which means it is 100% recyclable and an ideal environmentally friendly solution. - Fabric - a range of different polyester fabrics printed with dye sublimated inks, from display fabrics to fine voile. Dye sublimation printing embeds the ink into the fibres of the weave becoming part of the material. This process allows the fabric to remain soft and flexible. Mounting options (prices available upon request): FabriFrame - is a revolutionary fabric tension system which is so versatile the creative possibilities are huge. It can be mounted onto walls, doors or ceilings with a fabric graphic applied to the face, or be a free standing unit or partition wall. The system is created from a lightweight aluminium frame which can be fitted on-site either by my installation team or, depending on size, sent as a flat pack unit for self assembly. The frames comes in a variety of profile depths ranging from 20mm to 100mm, with the ability to be cut and finished to create almost any shape you can imagine. FabriGrab - An incredible fabric tension system which effectively replaces the need for full wall coverings in vinyl or wallpaper, eliminating any seams or damage to the wall behind. The slim extrusion creates a narrow gap between the wall and fabric to create a smooth fabric finish. The super slimline FabriGrab™ frame attaches neatly to the wall, around windows, doors, sockets and switches. Influences: We each are influenced by the world and people around us, and as such the decisions and choices we make can be steered dependent on how strong the given influence is. When working on and compiling a joiner I generally listen to music, and as such I believe the music can have a bearing on the finished article. To this end to fully enjoy and enter into the same state of mind as that when the joiner was created I recommend listening to the the following track: Track: Get off. Artist: Dandy Warhols
