La Catedral, Sucre, Bolivia, 2014

The Spanish built this church between 1551 and 1712, adding this bell tower in the late 18th century. The clock, which still keeps perfect time, was built in London in 1772. The most incongruous features of the bell tower are three balconies decorated with statues of the Apostles. The statues are enormous, and seem to balance precariously on their narrow pedestals. I interpret the scene by abstracting it, removing the tower and its statues from the rest of the church by framing only the top two stories rising above the surrounding trees. The billowing clouds filling the background seem to put the scene into motion.
