EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by James O. Davies transports us to the heart of Birmingham's vibrant Digbeth district, where The Custard Factory stands as a testament to architectural ingenuity. As we gaze upon its east elevation, our eyes are immediately drawn to the mesmerizing sight of elliptical balconies that adorn the studio buildings. The image captures a unique perspective, inviting us to look up and marvel at the intricate details that make this structure truly remarkable. Each balcony seems to float effortlessly in mid-air, creating an ethereal ambiance against the backdrop of clear blue skies. The play between light and shadow further accentuates their graceful curves, adding depth and dimension to the composition. The Custard Factory itself is steeped in history and has become an iconic landmark within Birmingham's urban landscape. Originally built as a factory for Bird's Custard in 1906, it has since been transformed into a creative hub for artists, designers, and entrepreneurs alike. Davies' photograph not only showcases the architectural brilliance behind these elliptical balconies but also serves as a visual reminder of how historic structures can be repurposed for contemporary use without compromising their original charm. Through this image, we are transported into an enchanting world where past meets present – where creativity thrives amidst industrial heritage. It is a testament to both human imagination and our ability to adapt spaces while preserving their intrinsic beauty.
