And a few oil sketches/paintings of Southern Ireland

Landscapes are something I don't often do, but a trip to Crookhaven last year made me want to reproduce some of the beauty of that place.

Colours of Peru


These are a few sketches from my trip to Peru - primarily I went to walk the Inka Trail with my daugther, but we also went to Lake Titikaka. Above all else I was impressed by the wonderful colours!

More pictures from Pinewood Studios























The residency at Pinewood gave me the opportunity to create new work based on an entirely different theme.

I started with the photos I took and produced a book of those - some of them are shown above. I had been promised a display wall in Theatre Seven to show my work and the photographs also form part of this display.
Much of my work involves light - and the medium of film intrigued me - I took a 'can' of film and played around with it, using it for its aesthetic qualities not for movie projection. Photos of the results are posted here. The film reflects as well as projects leading to interesting composite images.
The relationship with Pinewood is ongoing with ideas for projection on to the outside of the Bond stage and a larger display of film 'canvasses' with special lighting.
