I frequently check out the Porthmeor Studios renovation site, I find the photographs by Graham Gaunt really inspiring the empty worn spaces are so evocative of a time passed and so full of history. Interestingly I find the earlier photographs before the renovation started more beautiful than the more recent photographs, I just love all those worn surfaces, rusty nails and broken windows. The film below is by Graham Gaunt and shows the studios in November 2011.
What a perfect work space!
ReplyDeleteSome lovely surfaces and colours. I watched without sound. Could really feel that breeze.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments Sue, Sally and Patricia. I think this would be my favourite place to have a studio looking out on the beautiful beach and sea in St Ives.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, what a find! That film is s u p e r b! What a fabulous building and its location, well what can I say!
ReplyDeleteI designed a fish shop interior about 10 years ago but it was never developed but it had a back wall with a projected seascape and the sound of the sea was to play an important role too.
Golly I love this, Sandra, thanks so much for posting it.
Yes I agree Niki it's a super film and I love his photographs too. It's a pity the fish shop interior you designed wasn't developed as it sounds like a great idea.
