Seen through the lens of my locality, the energy and expanse of the Cosmos is enlarged through these images of dynamic, open space. I have been driven by the poeticism of the imagination that has inspired the Sublime.
The central photograph of the Milky Way has been stacked from many exposures to create a more detailed final image. This reflects the surrounding uncropped 36 frames taken on 35mm film, compositing a quantum image of a more detailed whole.

Using conventional photographic equipment and techniques, these images of beautiful natural landscapes refrain from pursuits of formalist qualities: omitting horizons, landmarks, people, and other iconography of the picturesque.
Displayed in a free-flowing cartographic expression of my shoot locations throughout South-West Cornwall, there is little revealed within the individual frame. However, in series, patterns emerge, and take the viewer on a journey between these open spaces, inciting the imagination.
