Aspen Rhythms
This work is based on my two favourite Aspen trees
Aspens
Jitter Grid
This work is based on patterns seen at the bottom of a burnt pot.
I see the Universe in burnt coffee.
Collage
Given my interest in squares and grids, collage is a natural way for me to work. I often assemble fragments of photographs I have taken, which have been enlarged or reduced on a photocopier. I prefer the physicality of a photocopier, and the random graininess it introduces, rather than assembling images digitally. The chaotic and unexpected are important elements of my work.
Mixed media
The Achnabreck Ring series is based on photos which I took in the Kilmartin Valley in western Scotland. I superimposed rhythmic grids and circles, while leaving parts of the photos as compositional elements.
