    35mm Digital Photographs

I see myself as part of nature not separate from nature. I also see myself as a photographer, using this medium to communicate my world view: A deep connection with ecological reality is required if we are to transform ourselves and our model of progress from consumers of the earth to become guardians of the earth. Photography is the last step in my art practice in which, in collaboration with Philippa Jones I create sculptures - in this series guardian figures - from natural materials gathered from the environment that return to the environment. This process refers to the vital cyclical processes that govern all life, and the fundamental processes of a regenerative human economy. My photographs record what was there, in natural light without manipulation.
