To say that we are human-centric is the
ultimate understatement.
We are human-centric, and have been for a very very long time.
Central in our destructive infestation, yet so un-essential.
We spiral on; our progress is tediously repetitive.
But an optimist would call it progress.
I work in a contemporary narrative mode to convey
my understanding of an event or situation.
Animals and plants are often a central aspect of the images as
visual clues to the narrative.
Landscape has become a vehicle to look more closely at our
effect on the natural world
and the hypnotic beauty of small things.
