You will find catalogues of the work on my main site here.

Thank you and looking forward to seeing you here in a week or two

THE PRINT
I like making the prints and am interested in what makes a them a sense of physicality. This is of course achieved by the frameing and display, but is mostly about the paper and ink. The watercolours suit the process well, particularly when on a good heavy paper.
​
Sometimes these type of prints, known as ‘giclee’ or ‘inkjet’ are talked about as something perhaps inferior. There is plenty about this online but the fact is that these days the quality of printers, ink, and paper and 'know how' is so good that this is probably the most faithful way of printing work that has ever existed. The archival qualities are also now very good.
It is also worth noting that that in the world of photography which of course is still a main part of the practice, the inkjet prints are absolutely the accepted standard now. Of course platinum prints and C types still have their qualities and unique capacities to deliver an image, but for faithful, archival and seductive reproduction.. give me giclee every time..
THE LANDSCAPE
For the most part I work in an estuarine landscape on the east side of England where the tide floods every twelve hours, I am intrigued by the reassurance of the inevitability of that change. This is what I mean by having a ‘keen eye on landscape and how we hold ourselves within it’. There is more about the conceptual side of the work on the main HCW site here
It is pretty much the story of a journey from the springs upstream, into the woods, through the meadows, out into the creeks, across the marshes and out to the sea and skies beyond.
