"Westerleigh Rd."
Artist
Nathan Leigh TaylorDescription
"Westerleigh Rd. explores the psychological shift that occurs when familiar urban spaces are altered by night and atmosphere. Taken in dense fog on the outskirts of Yate, the image explores a moment when routine geography became unstable. The streetlights appear otherworldly, the landscape is obscured, and everyday infrastructure is rendered unfamiliar by artificial light. The illuminated bus shelter appears as both anchor and anomaly; artificial light not only reveals the space but reshapes it, isolating fragments of the scene while allowing others to dissolve. In this image, the city after dark exists in a state of liminal tension: seemingly uninhabited yet subtly disrupted by the headlights at the edge of the frame. There is the suggestion of life, fleeting and peripheral."Try it!
