All of my work is created from original photographs, i then breakdown the various parts through very simple editing techniques.
I strive for the 'perfect' in colour and tone, though in most cases this is achieved by pure chance, and that's how i like it.
I am told by 'experts' that the larger I produce my works that the chance of pixelation increases which means that the picture changes (breaks down further), to some this is unacceptable, to me it's a more than acceptable continuation of the process that i begin.
Previously I have produced small limited editions of my work, it's now my intention to produce sizes to order, likely to be larger pieces on canvas.
July 2010
Born in 1953, Warrington, attended the local Art College, learned techniques, some history and thoroughly enjoyed myself, finding my way and developing my style or styles. Got the interview for Goldsmiths, from which I would never look back, a young man of 19 on his way to London, except I didn't get through that interview and it changed my life, or did it? I've eventually, through a lifetime found my way back, mentally, emotionally I'm returning to my life's work...bear with me. All of my work in digital imagery, from concept to actualisation is self taught. Each completed manipulation represents a combination approach, part by my own skills in selecting the appropriate image, with the software being the other contributor to the finished image. For each image i may use the photo-editor in a different manner, sometimes i am unaware of how the image will turn out by application of this or that from various editing techniques. The random expression through colour and texture is what i am looking to achieve, equally i hope that you the viewer find the images aesthetically pleasing? that they create a balance that offers a perfect image, a finished image, complete. Concisely I am interested in the informal becoming formal, random becoming fixed, creating a fusion of colour, space and line.
