My work is always underpinned by historical and experimental photography. Beyond Master Research projects, investigations extend into the intersection of photographic and drawing/painting processes as I continue to search for a new visual language and space for my work. Conceptually the works in this series, examine where the grey of Japanese photographer Hiroshi Sugimoto’s oceans collide gently with the dark tonal moodiness of Mark Rothko’s desired ‘felt experience’. Between these positions lies potential for a new language still being defined.
