"Abstracts could be a children's book, a picture book with simple geometric shapes, sharp lines and lively colours. The images in this book are very much like drawings. But in fact it is a book of photography and architecture.
The title -Abstracts- is significant in two ways: on the one hand it refers to visual abstraction, the geometric simplification of forms with no actual beginning or end, and on the other to a summary, the essence of a greater whole.
Most of the photos were taken in Belgium, and the rest either in Europe or further afield. But the location actually makes little difference. I found pure lines and geometric shapes everywhere, and I also found that everywhere I looked architects had provided me with new raw material."
