Of Walls & Textures

I’ve a propensity for photographing interesting textures. I suppose that growing up in a house surrounded by decorative stucco walls must have rubbed off me in one way or another – a memory from so long ago suddenly surfaces in which I grew bored and started an obsessive attempt to peel the uneven surfaces off with my fingernails (to no avail).

Later when I started noticing the interiors of other people’s houses, I realised that flat walls were the norm. While the plain wall has its appeal in its simplicity, I think I’ve always been one to favour mitigated chaos in the tactile and non-tactile.
