Carte Vista (The Visitors)
A beautiful book of late 19th century photographs were gifted to me from a friend who discovered them in his loft and they’ve led to a series of oil paintings I’m currently working on.
Apparitions and Artefacts
These exquisite, sepia-toned images, in the Carte Vista style, of people with no name who lived their life as we are, long gone. Laid down like sedimentary rock. Vestiges of their temporary time and place.
The paintings deal with the layering of memory and the nature of perpetual change and impermanence.
Ghosts from a forgotten past, visions of our own future states.
