Odling

Odling is my last novel accompanied with my ink-painting drawing to complete a visual art/writing project. Odling; an imaginary architect of the first half of the 19th century, is a man who makes his art a mystical work. On the scene of a London staining the smoke of the Industrial Revolution, Odling desperately tries to save the Spirit of his time from the imminent catastrophe, placing all his strength in an aesthetic ideal, the Renaissance of the Gothic. At the altar of this collective redemption he sacrifices himself, confusing the the nostalgia of a golden age with an unfulfilled love.
