“The show has two broad series of works. One is a set of studies of constructions of objects which are propped up and displayed to us almost as primitive sculptures. Rocks are placed on top of plates which become plinths. Blossoms are shown in rudimentary glass jars filled with water. Taken in a studio setting the light can be controlled but to strip the images of even more possible background noise, the objects are placed in front of a lead ground. This means there is a uniform light on the back of the image and no light or shade to distract. What that achieves visually is the most wonderful dark void in the back of the images that enables the light on the objects to be the stars of the images. There is a modernist sensibility to this work which becomes a meditation about form and shape and volume.”
