AUTOBIOGRAPHIES A body of work generated from memories expressed through arrangements of natural plant materials with the combination of animal, insects, and some man made objects.

"BEAUTY IN NEGATIVE SPACES"

'BEAUTY IN NEGATIVE SPACES': A long term project that took place at The Royal Cornwall Hospital during the winter of 2009. I would like to thank the hospital for giving me open access to work with my 10x8 field camera in all the areas apart from the maternity ward. A small group of students from the 'BA(Hons) Press and Editorial Photography' course / University College Falmouth, assisted me on the project and some of the photographs that the students took were used in the hospital's publicity, media etc. The camera work here is a small collection of the total number of the project images and are shown publicly for the first time.

PORTUS ADURNI 2003 - 2007

PORTUS ADURNI 2003 - 2007 (Shoreham Port) - “Portus Adurni” is the Roman name of the port situated on the lower reaches of the River Adur, and a highway was built by the Romans between the Port and London. In 500 CE the Saxons landed at the mouth of the river. In the Domesday book - 1086 - there is a reference to the township ‘Soresham” and during Norman times trade expanded rapidly for the Port as a major importer of wine and exporter of wool. At the time of my project it was a major port for importing Viking timber, a base for aggregate industries, and a life-line link to the Falkland islands. As an ex-Naval Architect my motivation for this project was my nostalgia for the ships, the salty/rusty oily smells of corroded metal, the power of loading machines and the idea that shipping is at the nerve system of any civilisation. I would like to thank again the Shoreham Port Authority for giving me access to the port and to Alan Motterham, at that time my liaison officer, for his friendly and useful contact. The project is very well documented with an extensive workbook/research, and many printing technical tests for printing a show. Most of the images are from large format contacts so they are not all ….. spotless
