THE ADVENTURES OF OVUM AND SPERMATOZOA AS THEY TRAVEL THROUGH TIME AND SPACE.

The works in this series are mixed media pieces photographed on medium format film.

Soft focus, vibrant colours and void like spaces create a dream like atmosphere of contemplation and peace allowing us to consider the majesty of our existence, what was before and what will be be after

DARK POETRY

Dark poetry is a gift of love and peace to the pain and darkness suffered amongst us and our loved ones.

The photographs accompanied by symbolic gestures are an offering to break the cycle of sadness, doubt and desperation felt through traumatic loss.

The beauty within a troubled being and the battles between mind and heart, body and soul, are demonstrated by nature in its daily fight for survival and fleeting magnificence. These works explore the realm that my words never could.
