About MeThis is a triptych of prints that represent the past, present and future, and illuminate the point that the disintegration of one thing can lead to the creation of something more beautiful and positive in its place.
‘Transformation’ represents the present and shows Union Terrace Gardens. Clive has said that “the recent rebirth of Union Terrace Gardens provide hope that regeneration can come after destruction”. ‘Transformation’ contrasts the old and new features through portraying the old in black and white and the new striking overhead circular light and new base of one of the pavilions in gold.
