Portfolio Introduction
Oh Yeah, We're Living It UP
The catastrophic events of the last few years have been many things including, almost unexpectedly, an opportunity to reflect, re-examine, re-imagine and simplify. The images in this portfolio began as in-camera multiple exposures and developed using blending modes. They reflect a range of feelings I experienced during the pandemic lockdown from trying to stay positive to feelings of weariness and depression to moments of insight and hopefulness. The repetition of lines and shapes and the use of color and space allowed me to have a sense of order and solace in the context of chaos in the external world. These images are an exploration of line, form, space and color and the emotional impact of the interplay.
