'The Ikon Gallery' Visit

The exhibited artist at ‘The Ikon Galley’ at the time of my visit was Fiona Banner, of who I have photographed most of the pieces there, within these images I hope to have captured the nature of the pieces and the feeling of their viewing first hand, as well as adding something and capturing often unnoticed vantage points upon the work. I also extensively photographed the building itself as it’s architectural design was as much an art-form as any of the exhibits. Below are the photographs I took of these subjects with short explanatory captions.

The enjoyment of the visit was shared throughout.
