Gestures, 2018 from the series Elemental Works

“I have an ongoing series called Elemental Works which are visually paired images. They started life elsewhere, second hand, borrowed from magazines and books. The found images are my medium and once removed from their original context they become forms and colours to work with. Each image becomes an element that has the potential to be paired with another element. I feel the shapes of the diptych rather than think them. 

The works available here are all my own photographs. The paired images are made by scrolling through my camera roll and trying to find similarities between unrelated photos. The relationships are usually formal, for instance, a road marking and a kerb at the same angle or a cluster of marks or leaves making a similar shape. 

For both of these series, the photographic pairings create new as yet unspoken narratives, each with its own internal logic and visual poetry.”
