Something Subjective

Im not sure that anyone but me will see what i see. What i see is not so much the image but what the image provokes. This photo is representational of an experience i had, entering the wolfs den.

Hedonism

Far Away


The beauty of sleep is that you are far far away, alleviated of all other problems, act upon impulse and lye awake within dream, action and thought take a new relationship.

Monotonous

The Gaze

Look Away

Drink

Lust

Hannah Getting Ready

Holding On

Holding on, about to stumble. Standing at the edge of oblivion. But is the drop intentional?

Cross

Gone



Smothered

At one point you take yourself out of your world, smother yourself. Cut off from the world, in the tiny moment you become a separate being.

Escape



Theres something about getting drunk thats appealing. Intoxication, like sleep, death and religion is a wonderful thing. The reason i relate these four things together is because i see them as an escapism. Everyone goes somewhere, be it inside a book, a day dream, intoxication or even ignorance, everyone has a sanctuary . I dabble in all but religion, i have no problems with religion, i find it fascinating but in the sense of not being able to ever understand peoples faith in it.

Where is it...

I wonder if i am at a place of change, i have come to a point where i feel the need to bare all, stop hiding and stop holding back.

i dont mean that in the sense that i am hiding anything, but i hold to much back. As soon as i mention hiding, or concealment i would imagine people are expecting something spectacular to follow. That isnt the case though.

The problem i have with my work is how much a value it, regardless of what other people think of it i have to hold a hig value for it as does every artist. When updating my blog i tend to update one image of a series, something that can stand alone with an explanation.

the work to follow is about myself, about my life and of a bigger body of work. Each does not require an explanation as did the preceding work.

My work tends to deal with my existence in all aspects. Currently it tends to deal with how i experience my surroundings and events. The following photographs are weighted towards the experience of that event.

Touch is the most intriguing of my experiences alongside material objects of collection. Ive been dealing with the idea of collection for a long time, the aspect of apprehension and transcendence. Turning my life into a collection...
