| Abstract Illustration | |
| I use natural processes to produce images which reflect natural phenomena. When working with ink on paper, heat, evaporation, chemical reaction, turbulence etc. are used to build up my images. The resulting pictures therefore reflect natural processes which we see around us.
I've recently been working with ink in water to create vortices and surface tension-driven flow. I photograph sequences of pictures, and also make movies. The images are unique, and may reflect cosmic phenomena or microscopic life. The images often have a ‘time-rich’ aspect - simultaneously showing forms at different states of development, or by containing time-lapse trails showing the pathway of the pigments as they move. My methods, particularly with the surface tension work, have been considered innovative. Ambiguity is a feature of these pictures, and the viewer’s imaginative contribution completes the creative process. Societies & qualifications Full Member, National Society of Painters, Sculptors and Printmakers (N.S.) Cert. Ed Music and Art, BA Hons Mus Ed, Diploma level BA Graphic Arts and Illustration 2004-2006 Became interested in the idea of a moving substrate and started work with ink in water, photographing sequences of changing flow. Presented the work at ISFV12, Gottingen. 2007-2009 Prepared work for ‘Leonardo’ and ‘Journal of Visualization’ (details at my site). New photography for competitions, promotional material and forthcoming exhibitions/conferences. Local solo exhibitions: ‘Water, Paper, Ink and Time’ Presented latest work at ISFV13, Nice; completed second paper for JOV. Prepared work for SPL; developed techniques for obtaining specific types of radial spread, including ‘bubblespreads’. 2009-2010 Started making videos, e.g. ‘Time present and time past’ - a reinterpretation of T.S. Eliot, in cosmic terms. |
