I don't often work in black and white but, recently, I'm feeling influenced
by so many photographers who do. Photographers from history but, also,
my contemporaries like Deborah Parkin, particularly, whose work reminds
me how powerful and pure this medium can be.

The Strand Gallery

Many thanks to The Strand Gallery for this 'spotlight' feature.

tape

this random bit of 35mm cine film was under layers of yellow splicing tape when i first discovered it about 25 years ago. i know nothing about it except that i've always been drawn to it and am finally getting around to printing it. look at the delicate, almost feminine hands of 'the taper'. the menacing stare of the henchman assisting in the (presumed) abduction. the sparkly 50's-era glasses. the deteriorating surface of grime, glue and debris. i like everything about this picture. i would love to know the name of the movie and the context of this scene.

Darwin Magazine

Thank you so much to Darwin Magazine for featuring some of my work.

photophores

A generous and intelligent review in Photophores featuring two photographers whose work I genuinely admire : Angeline Leroux and Gaelle Cercle Abravanel.

childhood photograph

An inspired twist in the ENFANCE(S) show was to use pictures of the artists as we were rather than as we are ....

art and science

I received a lovely email recently from Utrecht requesting permission to use 'Womb'
as a cover image for a PhD thesis in gynaecology. I've done many bookcovers and
my first print of 'Womb' hangs in a respected museum but this felt like an even higher
honour. I so admire and respect the dedication and toil of important medical research
and am humbled to have my work connected to it in this small way.

La(b) Galerie Artyfact

ENFANCE(S) réactive notre rapport existentiel et mémorial de cette période de nos vies.

Comme la madeleine de Proust, cette exposition se veut un écho lointain d'un passé idyllique et à la fois obscur fait de fragments éparses d'une mémoire collective.

Les installations de 15 artistes dessinent les contours d'ENFANCE(S) comme une longue réminiscence de sensations oubliées : conte onirique, parcours initiatique, osmose aux forces de la nature, petit monde mystérieux, mythologie de l'innocence, essence de la famille, origine du monde... C'est le chuchotement en creux des voix d'enfants des artistes que l'on pourra percevoir.
