The temple series came about as an extension of the ‘Bridge’ series of photographs, taken on an adjacent bridge. As the overpainting started to extend onto the frames themselves, the interest of the photographs started to shift to focus on the combination of the abstract painting and the framing devices themselves as in many Howard Hodgkin paintings.
At first the interest was in the resemblance with abstract paintings but later the decorative ironwork used to surround these metal panels became of equal interest. I found them to be reminiscent of classical temples and porticoes framing the accidentally created compositions.
