Artwork description:

An abstract landscape, inspired by a buffalo jump, a cliff where north American indian tribes, used to drive herds of buffalo or bison over the edge to their death.
In this artwork can be seen a buffalo skull, just above the white edge of the cliff, with a full moon in the sky and two crows waiting at the bottom right hand side, of a red desert. It also looks like an ancient rock carving, where Indians would have recorded their history, of the great buffalo hunts.

This is part of my Bunker series, created from photographing details of WW2 defence concrete bunkers and gun emplacements from around Britain's coast.
These abstract landscapes are created naturally over time from the weathering and aging of the concrete and rust from bolts and nails embedded in the walls.

In this series I have tried to show that even simple, neglected, often over looked, mundane and in this case ugly and terrible places have beauty hidden within them.
These photos have not been manipulated in any way apart from light photo editing (cropping and exposure adjustment) and as such can be seen in situ around Britains coastline.
