My photographs of landscapes evoke the feeling of disoriented harmony, melancholy, power and stillness. The monochromatic colour reduces the environments to shape, line, light and shadow, whilst still manage to channel unity. My work is intuitive and reflects the transience in nature in both micro/macro perspectives.
The discord between nature’s ever-greater capacity to organise organically and humankind’s proclivity for straight-lines and metric-order fascinates me. All my life, I’ve been some kind of dreamer, observing decay with curiosity; forever collecting stuff – small, meaningless, intriguing. I still wonder about the unconsciously rooted meaning of that. Fact is, it plays a significant role in my work.
My work is without doubt a necessity for my well-being and a very rewarding way to deal with the world as it is. It distances me from the capitalist, technocrat and infodemic controlled society in which we live.
