I’m looking through some old pictures from my trip to Norway about 5 years ago… it’s a long story but we went to meet the King. And meet the King we did.
But while there - we took a look about.

I’m a lens based artist.
I want to create fantasy worlds and escapes. To bring a little bit of make believe into the day to day.
I want to communicate the feeling of possibility that nature and creativity bring out in a life. It might be something called Hope.

I’m still lingering over these flowers… the darkness, the colour, so pretty yet imbued with a mood that is weighted.
Won’t see the full moon tonight as the clouds are hovering about but I know it’s out there… 🌕
A few quiet days before I’m back in the studio.

These are the most delicate strings of seaweed. I found myself drawn to their colours and shapes. The bifurcate and branch like trees. Veins that feed things.
