Artist's
Statement
My current work as an photographer/artist
explores the language of landscape, it is concerned with
natural and man altered form, the built environment, layers
of history and the relationship between people and place.
I aim to create both a visual record and an expressive commentary.
The work is realised as large scale photographic prints.
Projects in progress are looking at the remains of the Atlantic
Wall in France, the Contemporary Welsh landscape and Iran.
