For the first of my final year self-initiated briefs I set myself a project to interpret Blenheim Palace, Oxfordshire in my own illustrative way using my favourite techniques:
Growing up in Oxfordshire, Blenheim Palace was virtually on my doorstep and is the source of many happy childhood memories. In the spring of 2015 I revisited Blenheim for the first time as an adult. Over a number of days I rediscovered this historic palace and its’ landscape and gardens. This book is my own personal interpretation of the patterns, textures and surfaces to be found in and around the buildings. What caught my attention were the small ornamental details that are easily overlooked, I hope that in focusing on these I have been able to capture something of the nature of this great palace.
