Pigment Print on Archival Paper

I was commisioned to create an image for the debut album cover of the group M'ANAM. They're an international male vocal group whose work inlcudes pieces in English, Irish, Scots Gaelic, Icelandic and old Norse. This is the photo I used and it is called Hrafnaguð from the Old Norse which translates to Raven God, one of Odin’s many titles.
It is a limited edition print of 25, with 18 available.

h: 60 w: 100 (cms).
Selection from The Edge of Blue - a photographic study of the west coast of the Outer Hebrides.
This project looks to where the gneiss meets the sea, exploring the deep history of these ancient cliffscapes.
Looking to the far-flung north, we can imagine the fitting break of eroded bedrock that was once a part of this formation, now filled by the ocean that both separates and connects us.

Digital photography on 3mm thick Aluminium Dibond
h: 60 w: 90 (cms).
The photograph is a part of the series called ‘Scene of silence’ and refers to a characteristic void which accompanies us while we watch a silent movie. Certainly, when looking at a photograph we cannot physically retrace any sounds, which quite often were an inseparable part of the captured moment. In this case, natural phenomena appear here muted and motionless, presenting only their visual potential. In a nutshell, photography is a still image. However, due to our imagination and previous experiences, these pictures can provide an external stimulus to senses and belie motion and indeed familiar sounds. As somebody said: ‘photography is like the art of frozen time… the ability to store emotions and feelings within a frame’.

Charcoal and Graphite
h: 112 w: 112 d: 3 (cms).
During COVID-19 lockdown, I was restricted to just exploring the close area around Cliff beach, Valtos, where we are fortunate to live. This small bay in 'Isolation' is quite private and rarly accessed from the main beach. I have spent much time wandering amongst the rockpools, enjoying this space to myself, expressing "how lucky am I".
Observing the rich depths through the clear clean water pools, the characterful shapes of the majestic bold rocks that reveal their interesting fracture lines, telling the story of their formation. The rhythmical movement of the sea is echoed in the sand and the rocks.

Silver Gelatin Print
h: 38 w: 30 d: 2 (cms).
This image is from a series of work that explores the Hero's Journey (as made popular by Joseph Campbell). It is about the monomythological transformation of the ordinary into the extraordinary. It also yields to the wisdom of The Sixth Extinction as made so eloquently clear by Elizabeth Kolbert in her book of the same title. Yet I question the glory of that journey and the spoils of its outcomes. Humans, while not the fastest or wisest species, excel in adaptation and resilience. I am most interested in how myth and sustainability intersect in these photos. These images symbolize the trajectory of defiant attempts to leverage our own evolution at the expense of the natural world– and the material consequences that has for the biosphere. When we build with stone, we devolve with the sands of time.
As humans interrupt ecology, we undermine our own existence– not unlike the last cannibal standing, with nothing left to eat but himself.

Photography
'Lock down' is a photographic based project that tells the story of our world during these times of isolation.
This series was directly inspired by the world on pause, moving to the pace of isolation and fear.
Through black and white images, the viewer is taken on a primitive and powerful journey in between domestic objects, daily rituals and symbols.
Traveling through surreal scenes, we are invited to enter and create our own version of the lock-down, letting anxieties and despair flow through the images.
It was important for me to freeze on paper this universal experience as a part of our path of life and history. The emotions are mixed and the moody atmosphere is amplified by the shades of grey and shadows.
I have always been fascinated by human emotions and their impact on one's behaviours. While creating these photographs, I came closer to understanding the human essence, and its complexity.
All images are shot in analogue and printed in the darkroom, following the original crafts and processes of photography.
