About The Artwork

I swam across the sky to find you from the series 'The sublime light' 2016-2017 Pigment print on fine art cotton rag paper & 23.5 carat gold leaf Image size 30 x 30cm Framed size 43 x 43cm Unique edition 3/3 This hand-gilded photograph is framed in a white box frame with white mat board, museum quality anti-reflective anti-UV glass and d-ring for hanging. This image was inspired by two voyages to Greece and Turkey where my aim was to experience and record the quality of light and atmospheric phenomena in the region. These two voyages coincided with research I undertook into the symbolic use of gold and complex visual space of Byzantine icons. Each image in the series “The sublime light” tells a different story of my journey, and each one is hand-gilded, or hand-finished with a gold-leaf design in post-production - some inspired by my journey, and others by icons themselves. While this is a still image, its appearance and meaning change depending on the direction of the light, and the position of the audience. I recommend hanging the works where they will catch the light of a window that is either at their left or right side. This will allow you to experience the changing nature of the work as you move through the room.

I am a multi-disciplinary artist working across photo-media, sculpture and installation. At the very core of my practice is a fascination with light. Drawn to its luminosity and its intangibility my methodology is speculative and experimental, relying on a sense of intuition and imagination in the production of my works. My most recent photographic series The sublime light (2015-2017) was inspired by research into the use of gold and representation of light, as well as notions of visual space in Byzantine iconography. The sublime and abstract photographs are gilded in post-production with 23.5 carat gold leaf. The compositions present multiple simultaneously-visible viewpoints that exist in the same picture frame and open questions about space and time in the image. They complicate traditional readings of the photographic image and can be described as non-static-still-images, whose meaning shifts and changes for the spectator as light reflects off the brilliant gold surface.
