What Remains, a book by James Newton

£40.00
sold out

Does architecture have memory? What would buildings remember? 300 years after the death of Sir Christopher Wren many of his churches remain in London. Once the high points on the horizon, the towers and steeples are now submerged amongst surrounding skyscrapers, it is at street level in close up that we encounter these buildings.

The photographs presented here focus on the textures and patinations imprinted on the exterior stone walls over the passage of years; the viewpoints are from eye level, we are face to face with them in the present. But they are evocative of the past, providing a feeling of history rather than a factual retelling of dates, names and places.

Published 2023 to coincide with Wren300 & the exhibition ‘Wren on Paper’ hosted by Art+Christianity.
