These images are selected from a body of work which is nearing completion and spans several years research focusing on the changing face of the Thames Estuary from the Red Sands Towers up towards Canary Wharf and into the London Eye. The regeneration which is taking place along this stretch of water is providing me with a wealth of imagery and enthusiasm which I aim to record in my prints. I enjoy the vast scale of these structures and the way the machines that occupy them dwarf the humans who construct them and press the buttons.
My images are produced by mechanical means using photographs as a starting point. By combining the processes of silk screen print with photography it is possible to abstract, multiply, manipulate and add colour to the subjects to construct an alternative, second look at this dynamic and transient landscape. These subjects find their own form through this medium. The processes allow me to distance the image from its origins in scale and detail and thus occupy a new 2-dimensional space which can be laid down on paper or canvas.
