Emily Allchurch: Visions of Architectural Fancy

Her practice involves the contemporary re-creation of historic artworks using a complex technique of digital collage of her own original photography. For this exhibition, Allchurch will exhibit works closely inspired by significant works in the Museum’s collections: Perspective of various design for Public and Private Buildings Executed for Sir John Soane (1818) and Architectural Visions of Early Fancy (1820), both by J.M. Gandy; and Piranesi’s Imaginary View of the Ancient Intersection of the Via Appia and Via Ardentina, Rome (1756).
