 '…After the kingfisher's wing
Has answered light to light, and is silent, the light is still
At the still point of the turning world.'

T S Eliot

 
 My work is an attempt to distil the essence of those moments of stillness and contemplation which transcend time.
 The images form an exploration of the vital, ever changing, tension of existence; from the extreme delicacy and finely structured balance of microcosms formed by the petals of flowers to the vibrant beauty of vast landscapes which create vivid abstractions of rich, ephemeral, colour.
 The work is concerned with that precious intensity generated by a sense of connection, defining beauty by being at the very heart of an image.
 Ultimately, it is an attempt to create images with resonance; visual haiku which reverberate in the soul.
 'Almost, death could come
inevitable, unstrange
   as is this dusk and rain,
and I should be no more
   myself, than raindrops
glimmering in last light
   on black ash buds

or night beasts in a winter field.'
