About The Artwork
ABOUT THIS COLLECTION The idea behind this particular collection is to explore the boundary between the abstract and the figurative. I want to draw people’s attention to the abstract in everything around them. If you think about it every image ever created is abstract, just a collection of lines and shapes and tones and textures, and it’s our brain that sorts these things out and makes them intelligible. I enjoy exploring that mid point, the pleasurable tension that exists between sense and nonsense. On a more practical level my aim is to create a collection of pictures that when viewed from across a room appear to be completely abstract designs, but when seen close up reveal themselves to be constructed from identifiable photographic elements. I’m on a bit of a kaleidoscope kick at the moment but I intend all sorts of weird and wonderful (and attractive) ideas to make their way into this collection (it’s my chance to go mad on the computer, and also raid my not inconsiderable photographic archives for interesting ideas). I create all my own prints and spend a lot of time getting them right, making them ‘sing’ if you like. I consider printing to be half of the overall photographic process. It’s a very demanding discipline to master but I think the printing process offers such an amazing opportunity to inject feeling and personality into an image. MATERIALS USED For those interested I use an Epson Stylus Pro 3880 printer, which uses Ultra-Chrome K3 inks, onto Epson Premium Semi-gloss paper, which ensures a very high degree of tonal and colour accuracy. All the images are printed onto A2 sheets which leaves at least a 25mm margin for handling and mounting purposes. If window mounting I suggest leaving a 5mm gap between the edge of the matte and the image so as to preserve the integrity of the whole piece.

From an early age I’ve been fascinated by photography as a means of expressing ideas and feelings. I have a degree in photography and have worked as a professional photographer, among many other things over the years, but have decided that what I would truly like to do with the rest of my life, pretty much to exclusion of all else, is create art. I am drawn to the aesthetic aspects of photography, more than the conceptual or utilitarian, and want to create work that primarily provokes a pleasurable feeling, that turns people on, so to speak. There is a conceptual side to what I do, but it tends to ride on the coattails of the more strictly visual characteristics of the work. I work in several different styles, including a lot of manipulated imagery, though I have to admit classic black and white is probably my first love. I also print all the work myself, which keeps the quality high and ensures that what you get is what was intended. Even subtle differences in composition or printing can make a big difference to the end effect, in my opinion. Finally, I think art is a conversation, between the viewer and the artist, and people bring all sorts of feelings and interpretations to my work that I would never previously have dreamt of. I love that.
