'I am often asked: 'Is it a photograph or a painting'? There is only one answer. It is both and neither. My work seeks to blur and cross boundaries in a literal and spiritual context for an immersive and participatory experience. In doing so the imagination is stretched, the curiosity is aroused and it gives rise to an infinite number of ideas and possibilities. Then it poses more questions than answers. This is very important in my work. If the technical aspects were more important and I had all the answers to what the narratives in my work mean, then I might as well "pack up and go home"'
'For me, my work is an alternative view on the world or Universe. It is about pushing boundaries, asking questions as well as an escapist experience. Escapism that is filled with joy and full of soul. I approach every piece with an open mind and a desire to connect the viewer with my ideas and beliefs and be a participant in my own journey'
'In my work, vision and imagination are everything. I could possess the most advanced and most expensive camera kit and software available, but if there is no vision, no imagination, no "alignment with the Universe", then I cannot create great work. This is very important.'
'I don't care if the sky is yellow, the grass is purple or the trees are blue. Or if the moon is impossibly big. Or nature is symmetrical. What matters is where do I wish to go? Where do you wish to go? All of those things may well be impossible in reality - but not on my watch'
'Beyond and between every tree, in every forest, around every stone circle and beyond every horizon, there are new worlds, new dimensions and new dreams waiting to be discovered'
'If I were to physically cross over into worlds like these, I'd want them to be a fantastical kaleidoscope of strange nature, colour, mystical magical and psychedelic goings-on!'
'I am a wonder seeker. My creative journey takes me to places I had never imagined possible. I am on a voyage of discovery and marvel at the wonders that unfold in my mind and before my eyes'
