‘Creativity is the willingness to make mistakes.
Art is knowing which ones to keep.’
Many (many) moons ago i found myself sitting in a classic shukubo room in a Japanese temple after having spent the day amidst one of the most spectacular and jaw-dropping settings of my life, that is the sacred cemetery and majestic temples of Koyasa.
Stuck by the bare bulb reflected in the single mirror against the bare wall (while the adjacent wall of window looked out in a central garden), the first press of the shutter to capture the sight was of the last, lonnnnnnnng-exposure setting on my camera created an unexpected image as i moved the camera around to ‘bide the time’.
The rest, as they say, is history.
Or in this case, this collection.
Each image is a single exposure of an unmoving, 100-watt light bulb; created after i returned from Japan, set up the conditions, and spent a weekend exploring what was possible.
Each is a ‘portrait’;
of Time, Perspective, Intention, Choice, Light, Power, and Flow.
Each image is available as a limited-edition of ten each:
Two sizes
Various printing / framing / mounting options available
Each piece created-to-order
