Jury’s comment - “This is an initially perplexing composition, the frame seeming to fold in on itself in confusing ways – this superstructure towering over an urban wasteland, and then this gorgeous vista, as if spliced in from another scene. It has an almost dystopian feel about it, where one class enjoys the views from the parapet while the rest of the city rots below. Heaven and Hell. An apt metaphor for today’s society perhaps. I’m drawn to the figures climbing on the left-hand side of the frame, heads down, personifying that urban drudgery - traveling through an urban purgatory. There’s so much here to uncover”. – Life Framer
