About the Artist

As a child I can remember my father showing me the different mosses and lichens that grew over weathered rocks and old tree trunks. The memory of examining small, textural surfaces has stayed with me and is now an integral part of my work.

I find beauty in detail: The patterns of a surface eroded by the elements or the way shadows fall accross an uneven pavement. Shadows play an important role in my work as I believe that they can reveal just as much about the nature of an object as they can obscure. By isolating these elements from the clutter of their surroundings I aim to reveal the beauty of the otherwise overlooked.

Whilst the roots of my work lie in traditional black & white photography, the methods I use to create the final images are more to do with digital art than that of the darkroom. The final result is a blurring of media boundaries with each piece of work containing photographic, illustrative & etched qualities.
