The Watchkeepers. Visionary Art. Photograph. 2019. This image was captured using a digital camera during a series of experiments carried out shortly after sunrise using a combination of transparent and translucent materials. My work is based on the capture of fleeting moments when views into other realities seem to be possible. These moments sometimes appear to occur when light passes through material denser than air but partly transparent. What can be seen is often very different from what was photographed. The images are intentionally abstract so the viewer can have their own interpretation of what has been captured. All experiments are carried out in the open air. The image is available as a print on paper or canvas in a range of sizes from Saatchi Art. Frames are available too.

I am a UK based Artist born in Northern Ireland but currently living near London. I work as a commercial Sculptor and experimental Fine Art photographer. Professionally, working as a commercial sculptor to make my living, I have over 25 years experience making three dimensional objects for Public Art projects, Theatre, Film, TV and Retail display. My work with photography involves exploring qualities of light on the macro scale, revealed on its passage through, or as it reflects off, natural surfaces and materials. I am fascinated by the idea that all around us there are events and vistas that we cannot percieve because of their transience and minute scale. Some of the scenes captured in my experiments have an other worldly quality to them and could be said to represent fleeting glimpses into other dimensions or modes of perception. I use digital capture equipment and my own method of shooting at the macro level to reveal lights hidden qualities. I have chosen the digital capture, review and editing work flow as the process is quicker than traditional film based media. In my current body of work I have chosen to restrict my capture experiments to early in the morning or after moon rise as the quality of light at these times is at its most interesting. I am inspired by the natural world along with geology and science. I love the work of the Surrealists, Man Rays photograms, 1950s science fiction book cover illustration and classical figurative sculpture. I worked as the Studio Assistant for the Queens Sculptor for Scotland, Sir Eduardo Paolozzi, from early 1997 to late 1998. I have my studio close to home in Surrey, UK.
