My photographs explore shape, surface quality, time and function. Many of the subjects are recorded after their perceived usefulness has expired; caught before decay sets in, still, they seem to me to possess an electric presence.

You might half-see figures, faces, familiar signs. But these are simple studies of the ordinary – things encountered by chance then transferred to the studio for recording – which I discover or decide are worth representing, just to share the observation.

I use digital tools and techniques to make these pictures. The images are composed and refined with an eye on the super-real: the aim simply to intensify what's already there.
