From the ‘Portrait to Narrative’ I try to express the world through my eyes as a personnel witness, a participant in life not just an observer.
Dealing with the transient and often surreal aspects of the Human condition and ‘the Journey’ as well as desperately trying to fathom the hard facts of life: its loves, despair, anxieties and hopes. I am also concentrating on the rising contradictions apparent in society, those pushed upon us by the ever increasing News worthy and picture saturated world.
