My photographs straddle the boundary between representational and abstract art, and consist of large highly-saturated colourful images drawn from natural forms and reflected light, presented in limited editions on board and on lightbox. As well as being striking images, they present the viewer with the conundrum of deciding what they are, of speculating on their origins. They present a new view of known phenomena, lacking, as they frequently do, the points of reference by which we recognize the world around us. There are changes in colour, perspective, dimensions and situation in space, which result in visually satisfying images that leave the viewer to decide what the original photograph was.I take as my starting point the natural world, rendering it unfamiliar and yet recognizable, and producing an ‘other-worldly’ feel.Some explore deep into the detail of digital images to find new worlds hidden in their space. And some are fun…!
