Collaborations Two
. . Part Two – Bird Child and Forest. This is the second collaborative work with Elena Caravela. I was immediately struck by the delicate, ephemeral nature of Elena’s little bird-child, as she flew over to me.. Light seemed to fall right through her, and it seemed instinctive to place her into this forest, with its green blue light and mist, full of moss and lightly falling leaf.. . I really hope you’ve enjoyed these two pieces, I’ve loved working on […]

Collaborations
. . Over the past few weeks, I’ve been engaging in some really exciting collaborative work, both visual and musical. I’ll share the musical soon, but today and tomorrow I’d like to share with you work that I have been undertaking alongside the fantastic visual artist, Elena Caravela. Both of us exchanged work, for the other to add to and manipulate, creating something new. Part 1: Adolescence and Thorn. I was so excited when a few of Elena’s Bird-Children figures […]

Because of you..
. . Because of you, inside this noisy world, I began to hear the white line hum, of the beauty in the detail. You came quietly into the blue/gold of morning, led me to a whisper of faint magic, fallen on to the grass, lifted it out, showed it to me. It was beautiful enough before, soft to the hand, leaning in the breeze. But you reflected light on to every waving, surfaced thing, made every flourish, every song it possessed, […]

Movement in light and grass

Postcards
. . . . . . I’ve been printing little cards of my most recent pictures. It’s great to hold them all in my hands, little collections. There’s something comforting about them. I only have a cheap old printer at the moment, so they are not perfect, but they are lovely to hold. I had a small idea that it might be fun to post some of these to different people, and also to leave some about out in the […]

Eyelash Hearts
. . . . . I was so excited to see these little flowers shoot out from my eyelash plant a few weeks ago. They form at the end of long spikes, in small clusters. I’ve had the plant for nearly ten years, and didn’t even know that it flowered, but I moved it to a windowsill recently, and it must have liked it. These are tiny blooms, about half a centimetre each little heart, so I needed my macro […]

We keep on growing
. . . . . No matter what, their urge is to grow, to reach for the sky. Wherever I put them, they would bend to the light. It’s always an inspiring lesson. .

The Right Light
. . . I’ve burbled on a bit about my love for light in many a post since I started here. It has amazed me just the difference that light makes to a photograph. This may seem obvious, but I truly didn’t quite understand its importance and significance in the mood or feel of an image before I started taking this time to learn. I have an absolute favourite corner in our house for taking the kinds of shots above. […]
