​ARTIST STATEMENT

 

Artisanal furniture-maker in Wakefield. I build hand-crafted furniture in a rural workshop using time-honoured methods and techniques.  In my designs I create a harmony of form tied to the function of the piece of furniture.  Sometimes function is left behind a little bit.

​

My photography is, to a great extent, a meditation on aspects of nature.  By relaxing into that which we see, be it the original subject, or the resulting capture, one discovers and come to terms with any number of truths, as well as discovering wonderful icons and totems.  This is where it can become fascinating, as what I see is so often different from what others see, and leads to questions of how our individual cultures and heritage affect our understanding of what we see.
