Two Journeys

A journey could be simply defined as the moving from one point in space to another point. A journey can also take on figurative overtones: Siegried’s Journey to the Rhine, Jack Kerouac’s ‘On the Road’, the nineteenth century’s obsession with finding the source of the Nile come to mind. My interests lie within this latter sense of the word.

In Webb’s current works and exhibition you will find described two journeys: one is the journey of a couple seated in a seriously altered Lamborghini from the parking bay they have left it in.......to their home. The suggestion here is that the interior architecture of the car, coupled with the automotive thrills encountered en route, quite possibly surpasses the experiencing of the house itself.

The other is a lazy trip down the Thames at Henley all on a golden afternoon...... The Henley Regatta, or rather a photograph of it, becomes the test bed for a study of perspective projection and its relation to the concept of infinity.
