I have been research active since 1988 with International and National exhibitions (in Canada, Japan, Russia, Spain, France and UK) first in holography and latterly working in digital media. My interests are based within a fine art ‘photographic’ practice working with subject matter that translates a sense of ‘nature’ and the inevitability of some kind of human presence and memory trace. The work is based in a reality somewhere between painting, photography, holography and electronic imaging, with the images registering a series of kaleidoscopic transformations shrouded within a digital identity.
