Photograph on paper
Signed on the front.
A series of 3 composite photographs, all captured and created by myself.
The Victorian and Edwardian heritage architecture proudly lining the main streets of Victoria’s Ballarat, is an impressive collection of renaissance palazzos, colonial bluestones, decadent handmade polychrome brick facades, and boom style Victorian with ornate filigree terraces.
Complete with statues, clock towers, flags, and turrets, the streets appear to be a backdrop to a film set with an Australian theme.
By placing these structures away from street furniture and “restoring” and relieving them of modern-day signage and clutter and into a wide-open rural space gives a feeling of stateliness and mimics the wide thoroughfares and tree lined avenues of Ballarat.
All buildings were photographed from Lydiard, Sturt, Albert, Armstrong and Camp streets. A layer of texture was added to complete the look and feel of the era.
Ballaterra
A terraced structure complex providing many places to rest for the birds. These decorative heritage rooflines, towers and statues maintain this classic ornamental look of these colonial era buildings of Ballarat, Victoria.
