Abstract nominee

This series alludes to abstract landscapes providing a sense of far off, mystical, places. Tolkien’s vision of Middle-earth was partly inspired by a visit to Iceland and this series is my metaphor for Icelandic landscapes.

I am an Australian with a scientific background in geology and mineralogy but love the artistic opportunities that digital photography provide. My work is mainly conceptual with a leaning to the dark and complex. Allusion, pareidolia, abstraction and coalescence – things are not always what they seem.

I belong to a photo artist group called Nebuli Arts and have been involved in a number of group exhibitions. On the more prosaic side my mineralogy photography has been published in a number of scientific forums including journals and books.
