From Elswyth, a collection attentive to the overlooked ornaments that shape the character of a place.
High above the street in Wellington, four simple flowers bloom in plaster, framed by timbering and the geometry of the gables. They are not grand carvings or celebrated works of art, but small acts of decoration woven into the everyday architecture of the town. Looking up reveals details that reward attention – reminders that even ordinary buildings were once given moments of delight, inviting passers-by to lift their eyes from the pavement and notice beauty where it has quietly waited for generations.
Looking up changes a place. Details that disappear into the background become visible again, revealing the care with which ordinary streets were once made.
