The Flower Dance Series →

Introducing ‘The Flowers Dance’ series.

This series started in playfulness in gardens. 

I am continually curious about plants; the powers of herbs, the characters of trees, the radiant brilliance of flowers.

My curiosity is pulled to the plant and the conversation begins.

I mostly find the plants on walks, or in the gardens of my Dad and Grannie or sister.

These places are significant to me, they hold truths; where I’ve come from, where I am, and where I’m going. 

I ‘dance’ the plant along a flatbed scanner in a kind of painterly fashion to record a chance portrait. 

Each composition is unique and mostly unpredictable.

The images allow the plant to reveal an unseen side of themselves, awakening imagination and creative play.

The images always surprise me, I feel like I am forever meeting characters, forever peering a glimpse into a world that is only made possible between the scanner, human and plant. 

The flowers dances are visual poems that paint their own mystery. Somewhere in that dance, is myself, in the form of connection, fascination and participation.

The Magic of Beauty

Our eyes are the gift that allow us to witness the magic of beauty.

Or… is it the beauty of magic?

I am a lover of looking at things, which is why Photography excites me.

In freezing time, we are given a magicians view of the world. 

The photograph is a phenomenon of abstraction in its very nature.

I love it. 

In the removal of time, we can to dissect the moment and look at the world for an unnatural duration. 

Allowing the briefest of moments to be captured in the potentially infinite lifespan of a photograph.

With a photograph we can journey deeper into the frozen moment, to reveal the architecture of the most brief of moments, describing our physical environment as well as the photographers intention, story, question. 

Questions excite me. 

They give birth to possibility, to curiosity and to listening.

I guess thats why I love abstract imagery. It opens all kinds of questions as to what im looking at, what the intentions are, and where my response comes in.

It reminds me that life is incredible.

And I can breathe again.

I use photography to illustrate my feelings of being alive. 

Where I find myself in the midst of all this life.

Just another expression of life in a sea of beings on a living planet, yet a unique formation of chance, expressing life in my own way, for the first time ever (possibly).
