Five photographers share their views on Subjective Reality.

Five photographers share their views on Subjective Reality.: The theme Subjective Reality focuses on how technique contributes to an artist’s meaning and how the technical innovations of the 21st century can shift our perceptions into a seeing of the unseen.

Higgs Boson part 1.

Mixed medium on canvas 60 cm x 60 cm


'If our ideas about the Higgs boson turn out to be correct, then everything we see is a kind of window dressing based on an underlying fabric of reality in which we shouldn't exist. The particles that make us up – which bind together to form protons, neutrons, nuclei and ultimately atoms – have mass. Without the Higgs, these particles would be massless, like photons.
We all know from our own experience that how heavy something feels depends on where it is located. For example, objects that are heavy on land appear lighter in water. Similarly, if you try to push a spoon through treacle it appears heavier than if you push it through air.
The standard model of particle physics implies that there is a "Higgs field" that permeates all space. This field interacts with particles, and does so with varying strengths. Particles that interact more strongly experience more resistance to their motion and appear heavier. Some particles, such as photons, do not interact with the field at all and remain massless.
In this way, the mass of everything is determined by the existence of the field, and mass is an accident of our circumstances because we exist in a universe in which such a background field happens to have arisen.' Lawrence Krauss

Sketchbook project 2012










My theme was 'In ten minutes, '
which is about how long it takes to put one collage in the book.
There is no order to this book.
It is random thoughts turned into images.
Made from things that are left over or tests I make for my canvases.
It is my way of keeping fresh.

Sketchbook Project 2012




Second time around for the Sketchbook project.
I like the pressure of a deadline.
No time for artistic contemplation or insecurities.
Just doing it.

Parrot preserved.

Mixed medium on canvas 50 cm x 50 cm.

I found this parrot in a junk shop.
I like to think that it once lived and that the owner devastated
by it's demise preserved it on cardboard.
Dusty and abandoned I brought it back to life
new eyes, new feet, a new feather or two
a swing and a freshly painted
environment and Perry the parrot lives on.
