Being laid up is either a serious impediment or a wonderful impetus to be creative. It really depends on the individual, circumstances and work at hand. I spent a good deal of time reflecting about my work during the last few weeks and realized that I show few interiors on my web site. After that epiphany, I started looking through the thousands of photographs I've taken of architecture to see why I had not included many interior shots. I was no more aware of the answer to that question after seeing the many photographs of interiors I have taken through the years than when I posed the thought. So I began to work on some.
Interiors are fascinating because they can either mirror the facade of the building or create a completely different dynamic. Entering an interior is like opening a present for me. Regardless of the richness or beauty of the outside of the "package," I love looking in. Once I heard that an individual received a gorgeously wrapped package and never opened it. Not I! Wrappings and ribbons are immediately torn apart in my effort to disclose the contents of a gift! I think that I am among many who enjoy the element of surprise opening a package brings. Even if an interior is as predictable as the exterior, there is always something unique about each and every space.
This interior is a bar/lounge in Europe. The ultra modern hotel is echoed in this room whose atmosphere was suited to clientele, function and its decor. I departed from my usual black and white and sepia palate to recreate the feeling I experienced when I was in the room: dusky, moody, relaxed and enveloping.
