ENVIRONMENT SERIES


This series contemplates the state of our environment; from local fly tipping to the global predicted rising sea levels and a look at everything in between. The images were initially suggested by cryptic scenes etched and stained into walls the suggestions enhanced by the addition of my own images overlaid to create literally "The Writing Is On the Wall" message

LANDSCAPE


Observing random textures and shapes on concrete, brick, block and rendered walls that appeared to have meaninful landscape interpretations; pareidolia was at work. By adding sympathetic images these surreal landscapes were revealed, narratives that belie their origins.

WOOD WIDE WEB


Trees communicate with each other via fungal networks to combat threats, nicknamed by researchers as the wood wide web. When sharing information and resources they give special attention to their offspring. By way of payment for the lines of communication the fungus is supplied nutrients.

Uncovering a pile of damp rotting pine planks myriads of intricate fungus fronds were revealed. Each fungus laden layer resembled diminutive forests. By merging images of pine trees with the fungus I set about exploring the resemblances between the trees and their symbiotic partner; re-imagined surreal forest landscapes.
