Middle Temple (plan)
View through a framing stone.

The framing stone discloses a view of an interesting niche. The horizontal capstone of the niche abuts an upright, and is supported by a low central pillar. These elements define the dark and mysterious space at the center of this photograph. The patina of the framing stone is very pleasing. The combination of engaging texture and strong geometry makes this scene, for me, quite evocative.

Malta. 1998.
