• La Ville #2 (2021)

    A few more city-inspired impressions, produced in response to The Kick-About No. 41, with Fernand Léger’s 1919 painting, La Ville, as it’s jumping-off point. These images were produced digitally, by layering up a single image and… Read more

  • La Ville #1 (2021)

  • Throwback Friday #82 Horse Chestnut (2011)

  • After Flowers Of Fire #3 (2021)

    A third collection of images produced for The Kick-About No.40, with some of these not giving out an explosive vibe at all, but something much more autumnal and becalmed; leaves on the surface of a… Read more

  • Throwback Friday #81 Allium Seedhead (2021)

    So not ‘throwing back’ very far this Friday, only as far as a few weeks ago, when I started thinking about all-things ‘firework-y’. Our house is full of dried allium heads, great big starbursts sitting… Read more
