Ambient landscapes dissolve into studied geological abstractions, revealing waves of movement in the stillness of a mountain. The artist wanders in a dream-like narrative: through a moonlit panorama, recording the overlapping dimensions of his surroundings.
         These reductive compositions present both an inquisitive attention and poetic dialogue between the macroscopic form and microscopic structure of each object. Fieldnotes is an insight into the artist’s investigative process and findings, and an invitation to participate in the same manifold enquiry into the nature of things.
          “I’m interested in the linguistic and conceptual connection between the micro and macroscopic views of the same object. Can we derive conceptual recognition from a microscopic image just through its patterning or from inherent characteristics such as colour and texture? How does this affect our relationship with the macroscopic view of the same object of enquiry?
