LITHOPRINTS
TREES OF KIRK IRETON
Kirk Ireton is an agricultural village, in Derbyshire, dating back to the Bronze Age. A population of 514 with many varieties of trees. It is where I grew up. The landscapes of trees, fields and horses serve as a witness to the passing of time.
Lithographic prints in different colours are sold individually.
HORSES
April 24, 2024 two horses broke free from routine Household Cavalry work to run through central London. Spooked by noises in the city, the horses sustained injuries. They did recover. It led me to gather this shot for a lithographic print of these amazing creatures who can sense a human heart beat from four feet.

PEACE
Whatever denomination of faith we belong to, a place to go and sit in peace.
In Central London there is a particular Church that can calm troubled spirits. Serendipity delivered a moment for this photograph of nuns praying.

LIGHT WE CAN NOT SEE
Sometimes the camera sees what is not visible to the human eye.
Relief can be found in ‘letting go’. These images represent that. The dissolution of ego, the blurring of certainty, surrender. Inspired by a comment from Professor Brian Cox “We know an awful lot and at the same time we know absolutely nothing”.

WITNESS
When we return to the landscape of our childhood, there are aspects that remain unchanged, like a witness to the decades that have passed since we left our family of origin. What was lost, what was gained.

Isolation
What does travel and motion do for the human spirit. Our perceptions and subconscious thoughts have time to evolve as our minds focus on the practicalities of transit.
Travel brings feelings of isolation. But light always breaks through.

SOULS
Empty buildings are like memories of times past. No longer filled with life. But still there as an outline.
On a hot summer day, a presence can appear in a moment and be gone as quick.

THE LIGHT SHINES IN THE DARKNESS and the darkness has not overcome it
Without light, there would be no life. Light is colour, light is energy, it fuels life, it feeds the spirit, it inspires art, religion and science. Light does not travel in straight lines, it twists, it turns, it is still a mystery.
Universal love of a mother throughout the decades. Sometimes it was a strong ‘perfect’ mother love. Sometimes it was not. Yet it existed. Over time.
