These works focus on feeling rather than place.Not a specific memory, and not something personally lived, but something more general and harder to pin down. A sense of having been somewhere like this before so they sit in that space between recognition and uncertainty.What draws me to these scenes is not what is happening, but the fact that nothing much is. Nothing significant is taking place and there is no moment to capture. Just ordinary locations, where time has settled quietly into the surface of things.
There is a melancholy to that, but not in a dramatic or nostalgic sense. Nothing here is trying to recreate a past or mourn it. The feeling is quieter and more about what lingers than what has gone.

The North matters in this. Its streets, textures, weather and restraint. Even for those who have never lived in these exact places, there is often something that feels known. Not because it is remembered, but because it is shared in a broader, cultural sense.When I create these images, different directions are explored, reduced, adjusted and refined until something settles.

The finished work is then treated as an object, not just an image. Each piece is produced as an archival giclée print on Hahnemühle Photo Rag and auction items are framed with the same level of care as the image itself.The solid walnut frames are chosen for restraint and proportion, allowing the work to sit comfortably within a space. Anti-glare glass is used so the image can be seen clearly, without distraction, in changing light and maintain the depths of black for many decades to come.Quality matters to me because permanence matters. These are not designed as temporary images but rather to remain, sit quietly and to hold their place over time.

The aim is straightforward:To create images that feel as though they belong to a shared experience, even when they do not belong to a specific memory. Something recognised, but not quite known.
