Thanks for taking a look at my website. My pictures
record selected parts of the landscape rather than
traditional views, the pictures go beyond being
recognisable places and become more personal. The
landscape becomes a vehicle for my creative ideas,
amongst the cultural baggage I bring to the act of
picture making are an interest in the perception of
space in the 2D picture plane. I was influenced by
the graphic manipulation of space in Op art while a
student in the 60's. I look for landscape motifs
which can influence the way we interpret the
photographic space. There are of course other
influences including Romantic art and the history of
photography. I interpret landscape through my own
filter of cultural values. The images have only minor
Photoshop manipulations to enhance traditional
pictorial values.
