Artist Statement:
“By photographing subjects
from extremely close quarters
or an unusual angle, common
objects are transformed into a
(semi-)abstract whole of
forms, colors and structures
that centre on mood, feeling
and emotion. The resulting
alienated effect is further
enhanced by creating large
prints of the images, often
using alternative materials or
techniques.
The resulting images show the
fascinating beauty of
imperfection and new wonderful
realities hidden in even the
most common and simple things
that become apparent by
looking at it in an new
unbiassed way, putting it in a
new perspective.
Inspiration is found in the
capriciousness and miraculous,
intrigueing world of nature
and the human psyche.”

Review Floral Abstractions I
We appreciate the impact these prints have and we could only imagine the effect at their actual size, which is quite large, and must certainly be even more impressive.
The extreme closeups have an honesty and directness with no tricks or filters or attempts to make them appear what they are not. The message is in the composition. They arrive very close to being abstract images and can be appreciated for this but the recognition of the forms of Nature gives them a heightened importance.
They also express a fragility and subtlety of color and the attention to detail is exemplary. A crisp, clear presence which struck us as photography, (if a category is needed) and not digital prints, regardless of the process used to realize these works. Mostly this is due to the technical ability which is apparant, and the eye behind the lens and not neccesarily the eye in front of the monitor.
