I’m a big fan of urban abstracts especially gable ends that unwittingly say so much about the folks that once occupied this former building and the rooms that once were … These part demolished gable ends seem to be much harder to find than they once were , I love the little details, like the stenciled ivy as seen in this frame , they offer clues that inform us of interior design trends and how these rooms were once used .
I wonder about the lives that once occupied these derelict spaces , this was once someone’s home !
Some might say I’m nosey , I prefer to think of my enthusiasm for these part demolished gable ends as a photographic trigger , a form of modern archeology that presents itself as a form of accidental Abstract Expressionism with a unique narrative , that’s my excuse anyway …
I must remember that “Accidental Abstract Expressionist” line for my next artists statement …
Next time you see a exposed gable end like this , let your mind wonder through the imaginary lives of the folk who once occupied these now empty spaces …
Until next time …
I wonder about the lives that once occupied these spaces , this was once someone’s home !
