The Call of Triton

     I am absorbed by the capacity of remnants, old china and other crafted belongings to evoke and resonate values now lost or in transition for they

    offer glimpses of past and present human preoccupations. Digital photography and computer software can next combine to create palimpsests

   of traces of existence across centuries and continents. My paintings also explore the presence of the past in the present. Pretty things can seem  

    decorative and indulgent distractions but can also serve to remind us of their service as tender traps.

     My printed works are the result of an extensive process using both SLR digital cameras and a short focus camera to capture exceptional detail.

     The subsequent images are fused and changed through the use of software, such as photoshop, to create images with implied narratives.
