My long standing practice of landscape photography has a particularly tranquil style and composition, in that I prefer to capture cooler, grey, washed out, autumnal weathered textures and atmospheric linear structures in a particular location. The geographies I photograph, are void of people, allowing the viewer to feel at times isolation, calm, loneliness or serenity within the particular place. I translate these photographs into paintings and screen prints and further still into tactile artist books; which can strengthen the value and importance of the visual image as a means of narration.

The materials I use are traditional book-making media, screen printed and contemporary papers, digital prints and acrylic paint with pastel, pencil and charcoal.
