Nik Strangelove’s first solo show at the Royal Cornwall Museum is a collection of colour photographs that document a variety of interesting man-made structures throughout Cornwall.
The project covered hundreds of miles over a five-year period. The ‘sites’ chosen for the exhibition were selected on a purely personal basis and form an eclectic mix of the well-known (Tate St Ives, Eden Project) and the more unusual (Air Traffic Control Beacon, Lloyds Signal Station). Many of the sites are in plain view of the public, but never fully appreciated. Nik wanted to create a series of captivating images that drew people into the worlds of not only photography, but also architecture and engineering, giving them a greater appreciation and awareness of these wonders while allowing them to appreciate the aesthetic qualities of the man-made world around them.
Exhibition is open from 9th January until 27th March 2010. Admission free.
