ARTIST STATEMENT
‘A photograph is a secret about a secret. The more it tells you the less you know’
Diane Arbus
The medium of photography is a wonderful tool for capturing a moment. These images are echoes of private moments conveyed using the moods and elements of landscape. I’m continually drawn to places with vast open spaces and sparse vegetation, places that give me access to thousands of miles of sky. The sky with its ever-changing light and transient moods balanced by the permanence of landscape. Fleeting versus fixed. The present versus the past.
I like to build my images by either emphasising or subduing certain aspects thus enabling the image a clearer voice – even if that voice is merely a whisper. What the camera actually sees is simply the starting point, what the mind sees is the more interesting journey.
Ultimately, what engages the viewer in my images will depend upon their experience, hopefully there is a hint of the contemplative, the still, the calm. As that is an important part of the process. Chaos versus calm.
