Skiptonia with Starlings

It’s a ‘Townscape’ photo-collage made from over three hundred images taken in and around the town of Skipton, North Yorkshire. Except for the Starlings!

I gathered photos of many familiar and not so familiar buildings and objects over several visits and edited, combined and merged them into a Skipton townscape.

It’s been quite a departure from anything I'd produced before. It's a whimsical piece; I had great fun playing with disguise, confused perspectives, tricks and misdirections.

It took on a life of its own as I struggled to assemble the jumbled pieces. At times it confounded me and I left it alone to stew for a while. I'm very pleased with the finished piece.
