Somewhere along the edge of lyrical narrative and pure abstraction, where intention plays with chance, subjects move beyond recognition, and the rhythms of nature dance – there is a state of dynamic balance holding the tension of all the elements together harmoniously.

This is a photographic sketchbook about the art of composition with over 60 large images – visual stories of ordinary things expressed and distilled though pattern and texture, colour and light, geometry and form. Seen in passing, fully formed and naturally occurring, they share a formal graphic and minimalist approach as the abstract takes precedence over the obviously descriptive.

These are studies about a way of seeing and feeling the rhythm and resonance of the whole –compositions that aspire to a certain contemplative presence and a sense of space in which everything is important.
