Prima Materia number twenty five Photograph - Limited Edition of 8

‘In my work I have never strived to make a perfect photograph, in fact I have embraced the imperfections and accidents in the photographic process.’ Working exclusively with polaroid materials for the past 30 years has been an infinite source of creative expression and inspiration. I have had a lifetime fascination with trying to explore what exits below the surface, an investigation into the complexities of time and change. The images began as a portraits now exist as an abstract reflection of another dimension. It is an evolution of one reality blending into another. The physical and metaphorical transformation of the negative’s structure generates a new image resulting in an abstract reflection of the world around me. This departure of ordered thought into non-structure, from tangible to abstract, allowed the release of trying to control my surroundings, my life and my art. My many years spent, as a jazz musician was also a source of inspiration, which moved me into the direction of working in the moment much like improvisation. *Limited Edition 1 of 15
