Land of granite - Planet Earth PAST                 Tortured harmony -  Planet Earth PRESENT    Plague of locusts - Planet Earth FUTURE


These three images pose questions on the PAST, PRESENT and FUTURE impact of man's presence on Planet Earth.

The cathedral at Teguier, which is said to contain the remains of Arthurian knights, and the nearby rockpools of the Côtes d’Amor, Brittany, are both formed in long-lasting granite.  Is it this coastline, therefore, that has provided not only the primordial setting for originating cellular life but also the last resting place for a PAST golden age?

The link between the tortured landscape of Rawla Narlai, India, and the titanium excrescencies of Frank Gehry’s architecture lies in their shared fractal geometry.  Does this unexpected harmony between nature and artifice give some insight into how man’s PRESENT destructive impact on Planet Earth can be reversed?

To herald an inauspicious FUTURE, Zaha Hadid’s structure for the London Olympics’ Aquatic Centre has been transposed into a plague of giant locusts descending on the City.  Does this frightening image presage a process of self-destruction in which man’s presence on Planet Earth will become ever more unsustainable?
