I see the landscape as an enveloping series of layers, each providing portals to other worlds which are constantly shifting in time and space. Landscape becomes both an expression of feelings remembered and attached to a particular place, and an abstraction of a previous image, inviting a look through it into another reality or fantasy, sometimes mysterious. In some cases forms in the landscape take on a separate life and become sentient and even mobile. There may be a dance between planes and forms, and portals to other worlds, where one looks through rather than at an image. I believe nature provides windows and clues to other worlds, and where we can find expression for our imagination, feelings and different perception of space and time. Perception is also a function of neurophysiology, where the maker creates something unique, and the viewer recreates it anew. A picture made from memory therefore may have little remaining of the original trigger.

After a career in medicine I have commenced a new direction photography and painting, where landscapes and interiors provide windows to other realities and try to capture some of the mystery of perception and the shifting gaze.

I live and work between far north Queensland and southern NSW in Australia.
