MYTH (1990) Series of 6 images. Overall size (mounted) 22" x 21"
B/W selenium toned, multi- imaged photographic prints.
This work explores the complex issues of gender, aging, and sexuality. Drawing on the archetypal Greek characters, Aphrodite, Apollo, Leda, Poseidon and Crone, the multi - imagery invites the viewer to reflect on the effects of Greek mythology on our contemporary lives.

ECHOES (1992) 6 - 10 images framed. Overall size (mounted) 21" x 23"
B/W selenium toned, multi- imaged photographic prints.

This work was made after photographing Greek statues at the Ashmolian Cast Gallery, Oxford. Characters from Greek myth such as Niobe, Zeus, Apollo, Aphrodite and Hercules stand in close proximity to each other, like people on a beach, each imbued with their particular narrative. After making the initial photos, multi - imaging techniques were applied in the dark room, to create fresh juxtapositions, rewriting the narratives for our contemporary times. The theme of human error, vulnerability and confusion is overlaid with a gentle irony.

FATHER'S SON (1993) 4 images framed. Overall size 21" x 19"
B/W selenium toned, multi- imaged prints.
Working now with a live model instead of ancient statues, the emphasis is on human form, frozen, fragmented, statuesque. The overlay is intended to evoke a sense of vulnerability and mortality. A metamorphosis of flesh and stone.

FISH WOMAN (1994) 3 images. Mounted in perspex. Overall size 33" x 45"
Multi- imaged B/w photographs. A portrayal of woman's powerful sexuality and desire but also the influence of mythic woman on her sense of self. The fishy overlay gives a sense of woman, part wild, part human, gliding underwater.

ICARUS (1995) 4 images. Foam board mounted. Overall size 33" x 33"
Digital prints. Archival.
Icarus, the Greek character who, tempted by the wonder of flight, flew too near to the sun and fell to his death in the sea below. The bird-like overlay disorientates our understanding. The man dancing seems as man floating, flying, falling, expressing the conflict between power and attainment, of strength but subsequent vulnerability

CONSUMING PASSION (1996) C type colour prints. Print size

This work was made for an exhibition in September 1996 at the Lan Kwai Fong Gallery in Hong Kong. It grew from memories of a previous visit to Hong Kong and draws on themes of materialalism, artifice and the synthethic. Impressions gained then have surfaced in these constructed tableaux.

We all indulge in consumerism, and in these highly coloured images, the kitsch shopping bag symbolizes the shopperholic. Fish and flowers become mere commodities, and are placed in gaudy, theatrical settings which hint at glamour and luxury.

The images are constructed within picture frames, built like miniature stage sets; fabrics and papers are used to suggest landscape or interiors; superficially they are humorous, even trivial, but there are sinister overtones.There is an element of the surreal. Composition is often simplistic, almost naive. They are both bizarre and banal. The intention is to play with the viewer's expectations of the photograph, merging the boundaries between early still life painting and modern advertising photography.
