I think that we can all acknowledge that nothing stays the same.
I am fascinated by this process, this constant flow.
Yet in our culture our language fixes things, we call things by nouns whereas in many Eastern cultures they verb things, describe people and places and doing rather than being.
Often laughing at myself when I get caught up and fixed in places when I know that they are only transient, holding on to the good bits and trying to speed up and push away the difficult times, what a funny game we play.
Through my photography, I am a light chaser, hunting to capture the unique atmospheric conditions that we are so often treated to here in the Wye Valley and fixing them forever.
In the same way, I aim to capture some of that energy and dynamism of the place and of life’s journey in my sculptural pieces.
I always enjoy the challenge of placing static objects in an ever moving and changing landscape. Always thinking about and considering the position they take up and the way light will fall upon them or not.
Sometimes getting it right and sometimes less so?
And I find something deeply fascination about making marks, every action we make creates a ripple.
I love carving marking into those forms. Marks that are echoed in nature, patterns, shapes and movement. This is something that man has done throughout history to tell his story.
Many people comment that my work is quite aboriginal.
Perhaps it is my deep connection with this place that draws me to do the same?
