Estates (Longleat)  2007
C-type print on aluminium, 155 x 123 cm

 

 

The photograph Estates was based on 17th century drawings and paintings of stately homes originally commissioned to show them to their most opulent advantage. Each original is manipulated to look like a tower by copying and repeating the floors and placing them one above the other.
