I’m fascinated by the concept of our connectivity. I love observing the stories of our attempts to supersede nature through our industrial culture - and natures responses to that. The atmosphere of old scrapyards, with all the clashing surfaces and textures, where glass, chrome, steel, mirrors are rusting, decaying; being reclaimed by nature. The stories contained in these spaces are being revealed and reframed - for the viewer to observe and contemplate. I work across boundaries between classical disciplines of photography with its claims to representational veracity - and painting. Challenging the ‘apparent reality’ of the photograph, I work the surfaces with a variety of experimental materials to create more abstract, dreamlike, and contemplative landscapes. Like the play of memory, they both hide and reveal stories beneath these surfaces. The interplay of mechanical and manual, of digital and analogue, reflects the interaction between man-made and nature rep-resented in the photographs. The result is a choreography of planes and textures that allow the eye of the viewer to wander, to explore and discover, time and time again.
