+ NEW BOOK +
A new book of photomontages ‘Time Perspectives’ out now. Find out more…

The front cover of the book Time Perspectives is pale blue, in the middle, above the title is a square black and white image with a white border. The image is a montage of 8 vertical segments of photographs. Each segment is a photograph of a seedhead against a dark background. Some of the seedheads curl, some are downy and some look like new buds on a branch.
Image title: Looking up, at winter light This is a square photo montage, it has 4 squares across and down, each square id divided by a quarter circle shape. Each shape has a different view of tree tops and winter sunlight. The images are out of focus and the sunlight appears in circular bokeh shapes. The colour tones are dark shades of green and black with the sunlight in buttery shades of cream and white. The quarter circle shapes give the impression of movement through the montage.
Image title: Tree drawings against the sky This is a photomontage made up of triangles, each 2 sets of triangles make up a square. There are white gaps separating the triangles. There are 98 triangle shapes in this montage, each triangle has a different photograph of a branch of the tree. The photographs are in the winter time, the branches don’t have leaves, some of them have moss. The branches make a dark silhouette against a pale grey or white sky.

New works created during a recent artist residency at the Tyrone Guthrie Centre:

Image title: Dissolve This image has 7 long rectangular images side by side to form a square montage. Each image has a different view of sunlight through trees. Each picture is out of focus.

Image title: A green sea of quiet This is a square image of moss covered ground. It is a photomontage made up of triangles, each 2 sets of triangles make up a square. There are white gaps separating the triangles. There are 128 triangle shapes in this montage, each triangle has a different close up photograph of moss texture, in different shades of green. The surface impression is a furry textured pattern.
Image title: Hibernate This is a square image in 2 halves, as a diptych. The left side is a black and white photograph of a seedhead. The image on the right side is in colour, it shows a fallen branch lying on moss covered ground.
