View-Through is a collection I worked on during the Coronovirus Lockdown. The name comes from using educational see-through acrylic shapes designed to help children's understanding of shape and form. Through this work, I researched a wide variety of abstract artists including both Painters and Photographers. My favorite being Richard Caldicott.
Through this series I experimented with shape, form, light and colour, capturing specific aspects and angles of the acrylic which I felt completely broke down and restructured its genericness qualities. I felt the final images resulted in a collection of beautiful, bold, and eye-catching abstraction pieces leaving the viewer questioning the line between the two genres of painting and photography.

DESCRIPTION
AUTHOR
I am a 28-year-old photographer from Manchester, England where I studied for a BA in Photography. I then went on to work in the industry both in England and Australia.
I've always been drawn to the abstract side of photography. I find it fascinating how simple elements such as line, shape, colour, and depth can be captured and reworked, blurring the lines between painting and photography in some cases.
My work has been showcased in the Saul Hay Gallery for contemporary art, Manchester. I was also awarded first place in the virtual exhibition 'Emulsion' for the London-based gallery, The Holy Art, Both in 2021.
