Needlework (right) is, rather surprisingly, very largely photographic - the cliffs and seas were so colourful and textured that it was not necessary to change them much - only their position and orientation . |

Above are two views of Stanislas Square in Nancy, France, one of the most beautiful squares in the world. It was built originally, all of a piece, in 1752, and recently beautifully (and probably expensively) restored. It is a good place to sit in the cafes that surround it and watch the world go by - weddings and all. Nancy is also the birthplace of Art Nouveau - thus the window frames on the left. |

Wansdyke , Sue Raikes, 2006 - based on tablet drawing, photos and maps of the Wansdyke, near Marlborough
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Wansdyke is a massive earthwork dyke, 55 km long that was built around 600 AD by the Celts as a defence against the Saxons. With Offa's Dyke and Hadrian's Wall, it's one of the three great defence lines in Britain.
These two very different views of it show the versatility of digigraphs. On the left, The Two Masts (scarcely visible in this reproduction) makes the foreground less clear than the distance (a reversal of the normal situation when the foreground is clearer than the distance). The title, although it refers to two radio masts, is designed to give a flavour of the hobbits' epic journey. On the right, Sue has used a much more abstract approach to the Wansdyke, emphasising the striking white line that winds across the big country. |

Isobars , Adrian Moyes, 2006 - based on photos taken near on the Marlborough downs

Isobars was intended to be a very abstract view of the Marlborough Downs, but somehow it turned into something more like a Shell Guide to the Countryside. This remains, despite making the hill more sinister, and emphasising the eye-field, and giving it a title drawing attention to the change in the weather.

Caenflight , Adrian Moyes, 2006 - based on photos of the Caen Hill flight of locks, Devises
|
|

|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
The flight of locks at Caen Hill is the steepest in the world (1 in 30). There are 16 locks in the main section, one after another - and 29 in all. It takes 5-6 hours to travel the flight by boat. Click here for more.
This digigraph aims to capture the apparently endless chain of locks, and their steepness
