SITES is a collection of colour photographs that document a variety of interesting man-made structures in Cornwall. The idea evolved from Nik's early work on Tate St Ives and the Jubilee Pool in Penzance. These were both structures that he was naturally drawn to and had photographed on numerous occasions.

Nik wanted to create a series of captivating images that drew people in to the worlds of not only photography, but also architecture and engineering, giving them a greater appreciation of these disciplines and how they influence each other and their environment.

Nik also wanted to redress the balance of existing imagery that springs to mind when thinking of Cornwall. He has tried to create an alternative image of the county from that of the stereotypical view of tin mines, Cornish pasties and cream teas. Cornwall has much more to offer and this project attempts to promote this region in a much more contemporary and exciting way.

 

Nik is currently working towards publishing this project as a book.
