Epiphyllum Oogenesis No.5 Photograph - Limited Edition of 5

Inspiration….... I can’t say any one person or thing inspires me except David Attenborough! But what I love investigating is Surrealist, Futurist, and Abstract art. I have always strived to create a point of difference in my photographic artwork where I make the viewer stop and consider it. To engage someone longer than the obligatory two-second glance in a world where we consume enormous amounts of imagery every day is quite difficult. The process that I use is one I began to develop back in 2011 and have been refining ever since. It is a reductive process that begins with a foundation photo, where the main subject is isolated using a set of rules that deconstruct it into many base layers. Personal aesthetics continue the process by using multiple copies of the base layers, at the same time incorporating contemporary post-processing methods. It is only through this method that a new image emerges that is not predetermined. Based upon its own content, the image belongs not within the limited borders of traditional photography but that of “DeConstructed Photography”. The result is an undetermined image based only on its original data that is bright, colourful, kaleidoscopic, and Rorschach in nature.
