Fenland Landscape Photography Monochrome

'Fenland' — A Photography Book 'Fenland' is a photography book documenting the Cambridgeshire Fenland landscape — a body of work made over several years, with the majority of the photographs taken during the winter of 2020/21. The book brings together black and white images of the Fenland's characteristic topography: dykes and rivers, tilted telegraph poles, uneven roads disappearing into the distance, and the isolated farmhouses and farm buildings that punctuate the flat ter

This painting was seen in my ‘Cambridge Envisaged’ exhibition in autumn of 2016 in the centre of Cambridge University.

I have arrived at an interpretation of the Fenlands through working with materials and actually living here and experiencing the...

'River City' — Mixed Media on Canvas 'River City' is a painting that responds to the experience of a city seen from the water — the particular perspective that a river offers on the urban landscape, with its combination of the ancient and the modern, the monumental and the domestic. The title is deliberately ambiguous: it could refer to any number of cities built on rivers, and this ambiguity is part of the painting's intention. Mixed Media and Urban Landscape The painting wa

'Mercurial' — Acrylic on Canvas, Cambridge Envisaged Series 'Mercurial' takes its title from the quality of changeability — the way a surface or a mood can shift rapidly and unpredictably. In the context of the Cambridge Envisaged series, it refers to the city's capacity to present different faces to different observers: ancient and modern, formal and informal, fixed and in constant flux. Acrylic and the Cambridge Series The painting was made in acrylic on canvas, a medium th

'Republican Voices' — Mixed Media on Canvas, Cambridge Envisaged Series 'Republican Voices' is one of the more politically inflected works in the Cambridge Envisaged series. The title refers to the tradition of dissent and independent thought that has always existed alongside Cambridge's more conservative institutional structures — the voices that have challenged orthodoxy, questioned authority, and insisted on the primacy of reason over tradition. The Painting The work was m

'Hierarchy' — Mixed Media Acrylic on Canvas, Cambridge Envisaged Series 'Hierarchy' continues the Cambridge Envisaged series, exploring the layered social and architectural structures that define the city. The title refers both to the formal hierarchies of Cambridge's institutional life — the ordering of colleges, faculties, and traditions — and to the visual hierarchies of the painting itself: the way certain elements dominate the composition while others recede. Process and

'Citadel' — Acrylic on Canvas, Cambridge Series 'Citadel' is part of the Cambridge Envisaged series — a body of work that responds to the architecture, history, and atmosphere of Cambridge. The title refers to the sense of enclosure and authority that the city's older buildings project: the colleges, the chapels, the libraries, all of which present a face to the world that is simultaneously welcoming and forbidding.
