John Folsom "Lure of the Lowcountry"

The ethereal beauty of coastal South Carolina and Georgia has been captured by Photographer John Folsom is his series of photographs, Lure of the Lowcountry, now on exhibit at the Gibbes Museum in Charleston, SC

Folsom hand tints each photograph and adds layers of wax and oil paint to produce each exquisite landscape. Each photograph will be paired with an early Lowcountry landscape from the museum’s collection. On display through April 18th 2010.

Compass & Rule

A new exhibit at the Yale Center for British Art explores the relationship of mathematics and architecture and features drawings by Inigo Jones, Sir Christopher Wren and King George III.

An online version of the exhibition can be seen here.

In the spirit of the exhibit, here are a few of my favorite drawings from the practice of Quinlan & Francis Terry Architects that were exhibited at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition showing their expertise with the compass and rule.
