Photography. Noun. “the art or practice of taking and processing photographs.”

A wide range of images inspired by the seemingly meaningless or randomness of them. Part allegory or reference. Part documentary for my own benefit; I enjoy making a memory out of an experience or imagined idea to look back on. Part series or theme with reoccurring ideas or images.

#fanart features regularly and a style I like using is the ‘Inverse’ of an image and the suggestion of “the same, but different”. I find this quite relevant in the world today in trying to recognise that there is beauty in difference and sometimes there is no difference in the first place, just the perspective. I like the depth we miss in our everyday life. In many ways it’s a contradiction, like us.

I have always been interested in the questioning of our origins, history and purpose and how we accept the answers we may or may not find. A big part of this is the role of mythology and religion and how they have impacted our relationship with truth and the acceptance of truths. This includes a fascination with mortality and in relation to architecture in general and specifically religious structures, predominantly churches.

This leads to my collaboration with Photoleaps AI Program for a growing number of the digital images I create - combining my interests with the traditional female form, portraiture, futurism, reality and some cliche neon for good measure! What is real?

Tolstoy once wrote: “At a certain level man becomes aware, deep within himself, of something supernatural.”

Some might call it art.
