My work explores the notions of mythology and narrative through objects, photographs, sculptures and fan fiction. I take inspiration from Egyptian mythology, Tolkein's Middle Earth, 1970's colour travel books and films such as The Dark Crystal and The Never Ending Story. The 1980's animation The Mysterious Cites of Gold is my main creative influence. My work is developed over a long period of research, which brings together series' of sculptural prints made from digitally printed veneered MDF with groups of iridescent fantasy landscape photographs, which are shot on location during my travels around the world. Each photograph is shot analogue on film and printed by hand in the darkroom. The colours are created during the printing process, which are chosen to best reflect the choice of metallic paper, which hint at the magical by creating something quite literally alchemical on its surface. I draw much inspiration from my Grandfather's collection of books on travel, birds and minerals as well as his photographs and slides from when he lived and travelled around Africa during the 60s and 70s. At the heart of my work is the use of colour, surface and materiality - hunks of quartz stone, slick slabs of wood, bright, matt pinks and oranges and the glimmer of metallic papers. Brought together, these elements create a fantasy-narrative into which I invite my audience to explore.
