Ceilings I Have Loved

Sometimes as a life model, I'm required to lie flat on my back for hours on end so the students can paint or draw a reclining figure. Being unable to move my head I often stare at whatever is above me, whatever it is. It's always a ceiling. I explore thee landscapes above me as the only visual sensory stimulation I can get and become at times trance-like and sucked-in to their architecture and form. Of course I know "it's just a ceiling!" but it does become something extraordinary if you spend hours, motionless beneath it. And so sometimes I return to photograph these places and here are just a few.
