PAINTBOX REALITY
Photographs are abstracts of the world. They translate reality into a slice of time; a two-dimensional plane; a narrowed view of approximately 80 degrees or less, and a depth of field dependant upon the point of focus. They may even abstract from the visible spectrum to monochrome.
Building on my Gestalt project, this series moved away from being completely out of focus to being completely in focus. Colours moved from the subtle to almost pure blocks. I framed in search of designs rather than subject. The result could be described as a form of ‘paint-box reality’.
