Artist Statement
My main area of interest is the relationship of manmade objects in the landscape. This has played a large role in my most recent photographic work which examines the relationship between place and the individual. I aim to capture an abstract image that will spark the viewer’s imagination to investigate as to what the image is and why I took it. The internal structure of Mill is the foundation for the work presented in the print and photographs in this exhibition. The mechanics of representation of a near forgotten era, although, surrounded by decay and soon demolition, still convey a sense of strength and continuation. |
