Out of FRAME
Artwork & Photography
ART in SERiES
This website brings together my visual work, curated into distinct series that each explore a different facet of how we see and interpret the world.
Through photography and painting, I investigate texture, light, decay, and abstraction, finding beauty in the overlooked and the ephemeral. Each series offers a focused journey into a specific visual language, whether through the lens, or expressed in paint.
Together, these collections form an ongoing dialogue between chaos and order, surface and depth, reality and abstraction.
OBSCURA
SERiES
The Obscura series is an evolving study of urban decay, focusing on the discarded, the weathered, and the overlooked.
Torn posters, rusted metal, peeling paint, and littered fragments, things that once had purpose but have since fallen out of place, become abstract compositions of texture, time, and neglect.
Each photograph captures a moment where deterioration becomes something quietly poetic, inviting the viewer to pause and reconsider what is beautiful, what is valuable, and what often goes unseen in the shifting layers of the city.
LUMINARA
SERiES
Luminara is a series of monochrome photographs that distill light and shadow into their simplest, most expressive forms. These images strip away the noise of colour, allowing texture, contrast, and composition to take centre stage.
Whether capturing architectural lines or abstract patterns, Luminara invites viewers to slow down and look closely to find clarity in minimalism and mood in the interplay between darkness and illumination.
CANVAS
SERiES
The Canvas series showcases a body of abstract acrylic or enamel canvas paintings where colour, texture, and movement collide. These works are driven by instinct, layering, and experimentation. A tactile response to energy and emotion.
Each painting is a self-contained exploration of rhythm, balance, and disruption, often echoing the same themes of decay, chaos, and renewal found in my photographic work.
In this series, abstraction becomes a language of its own, inviting viewers to lose themselves in surface, texture, and sensation.
ART & Storytelling
What is a story if not a way to make sense of fragments?
In art and photography, storytelling becomes less about beginning and end, and more about presence, the tension between what is shown and what is left unsaid.
Each image is a piece of something incomplete, inviting the viewer to assemble their own narrative. Meaning emerges not from what is captured, but from the gaps, the textures, the fleeting traces of time. Here, storytelling is not delivered; it is discovered.
TAKE TiME
Now that you're here.
Grab a coffee or better still, brew up some proper yorkshire tea in your favourite mug, find a comfortable spot, and take time to explore.
This site is a space to pause, reflect, and engage with the work at your own pace. Each image and painting invites you to look closer, to discover the stories hidden in texture, light, and abstraction.
I hope you find something that resonates and that you enjoy the journey through the pieces as much as I’ve enjoyed creating them.
Feel free to get in touch if you'd like to discuss my work. It would be great to hear from you.
Cheers
