Artist statement
My photographs investigate the contemporary cultural landscape, offering a seductive and unsettling re-imaging of modern urban and rural environments.
The treatment of light, colour and space help to establish a tension between a real and constructed landscape - a landscape in which the distinction between reality and imagination seems to blur and we are left with a peculiar sense of spatial estrangement.
Artist-printed archival pigment prints are available in the following sizes:
Image size 50cm x 75cm on 61cm x 86cm Hahnemühle Photo Rag paper, edition 10
Image size 33cm x 50cm on 43cm x 60cm Hahnemühle Photo Rag paper, edition 25
Each print is signed, titled and numbered.
