Pairing down an image to its most basic design structure is one of the things I enjoy most about working with abstracts. In some ways, it’s a bit like learning to see the wood from the trees, searching for the simplest presentation amongst a bewildering overabundance of compositional possibilities. Deciding where and how to place that minimal material within the frame has caused me many creative conundrums. Such was the case with ‘Encoiled’. The object itself is very simple, but I could manipulate it into many varied positions, and equally, move myself around to take advantage of different points of view. Narrowing down these possibilities and refining my approach took several days’ attempts before I was satisfied I was on the right track. Finally, I could find my way out of the forest, following the simplest of curves as my guiding path. If none of the sizes available on Saatchi Art meet your requirements, please let me know and we can discuss options for you.

Imagery which challenges creative boundaries and stimulates the imagination has always been at the forefront of my abstract photography. Exploring more unconventional methods of interpretation and presentation, I take familiar, everyday items found around my home and transform them from the ordinary into the extraordinary; this is my ‘Abstracted Reality’. Right from the outset, my photographic vision has been to look at objects with fresh eyes and a new perspective. For me, photography is not so much about artistically recording what is there, but creating something new and different out of what exists already. I want to give new life to a subject, to alter and challenge the viewer’s perspective and to invite a sense of mystery, wonder and intrigue. To achieve this, I made the conscious decision not to heavily manipulate or artificially create my photographs. Having to rely on my own imagination and creativity was invigorating, and through this process, I came to realise how highly I value the truthfulness and authenticity of a photographic image. I don’t want to manufacture my pictures in the computer. Paradoxically, I want my ‘unreal’ abstracts to be as ‘real’ and authentic as possible. The use of colour, bold shapes and patterns, and strong, simple graphic design elements feature strongly in my work. I tend to use colour as a means of highlighting and dramatising shape and form so that each image has a unique signature and presence, managing to blend the mysterious with a hint of the familiar which can’t quite be grasped.
