'Being Ox Close Wood'
'You can't depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus' (Mark Twain, 1889) My photography seeks out places which offer space for deep reflection on how we relate to the world around us. My focus is the light and dark, the flow of textures, form and structure, the growing, decaying and static - challenging perceived ideas of everyday reality. Ox Close Wood dates back to mediaeval times. It has been crafted out of human engagement with nature - providing both material and spiritual succour. However today's wood is just an unnoticed in everyday living. My work explores its re-positioning as reinvigorator of enchantment, the words of Mark Twain my constant companions.
