The Nowness of everything is absolutely wondrous. Dennis Potter 1935-94.
Material absorbed in its own thoughts :
Cyanotype process used to record both the structure of a leaded window and a sublime value of transparency. Original stained glass panel created in 1991 reflecting on global issues at the time. This subsequent work on paper reflects the generative nature of the creative process.
Reflective journal and artist's book, a place to collage interests and findings whilst they wait to be discovered. This ongoing chronicle of explorations reflects the sense of "nowness" within the creative process. Most things lay dormant and waiting, their they remain encapsulated within the books fertile beauty.

Silver gelatin prints from a "room obscura" set up at Kilquhanity, Scotland 2011 as part of "Back to Free school, Drawing out the Archive".
Part of a series of speculative drawings with objects, interested in bringing these elements into architectural forms and surfaces, maybe textures. Recent reading of "Natural History" which documents the exhibition "Archaeology of the mind " which centres around the architectural practice of Herzog and de Meuron has prompted me to reflect on their comment
"Our models and experiments with material are not works of art, but rather a kind of accumulated waste"
