About The Artwork
Photography: Black & White on Canvas and Paper. Editions Limited to 10 Prints with certificate of authenticity. The Naiad's in Greek myth were nymphs of fresh waters, lagoons, springs and streams. Their waters' purity and use in ritual cleansings were credited with magical medical properties. Jealous nymphs were often fascinated by beauty, like the abductors of the Argonaut Hylas. Salmacis the lustful nymph, who attempted to rape Hermaphroditus, and whilst clinging to him called for the Gods that their bodies to be forever as one. Her wish was granted, and their bodies blended into one form. "There dwelt a Nymph, not up for hunting or archery: unfit for footraces. She the only Naiad not in Diana’s band. Often her sisters would say: “Pick up a javelin, or bristling quiver, and interrupt your leisure for the chase!” But she would not pick up a javelin or arrows, nor trade leisure for the chase. Instead she would bathe her beautiful limbs and tend to her hair, with her waters as a mirror." Ovid, Metamorphoses. Book IV, 306-312.

.Fine Art Photography, Social Documentary, Photography, . .Old Print Process, Abstract Art . . If time is a mellifluous river, then photographs are the temporal stepping stones on which the viewer can stand, mid-flow in the present to look back upon the past. As a child I sat fascinated by my father’s photography of Africa, transported by the vast landscapes and intimate portraits, eyes that fluoresced and horizons that beckoned me forth. The power of photographs to take the viewer to a place of quiet contemplation was thus instilled in me from an early age. As a young man I set out to answer the challenge of those horizons. Drifting from culture to culture the relationship of my art to time becomes ever clearer, as does a growing sense of man’s disconnection from nature, its seasons and cycles, ultimately a disconnection from the self. Through my work, I seek to distill the essence of humanity and nature, from the boundless to the intimate. From the minutiae of man’s diaspora to the grandiose wilderness of our ever diminishing world.
