My work focuses the viewer’s attention on the interplay of light with the structure and often treats other elements of the composition in a more abstract way. I explore the rhythm of light and shade, often on the seemingly ordinary; showing the everyday in a new light.
I am drawn to the structural elements of cities: stairways, doorways, arches, bridges; points of transition and thresholds. I am interested in the way in which light interacts with the mundane; the transformative effect of sunlight and shade on something very ordinary; essential elements upon which we tend not to focus. Colour and perspective are important features of the work but the key focus is always the light.
