Ride The Wave

Orange Pulsing Over Green, 2013 - Light Signatures :: (click to see more) I've not been too happy with the way my life has been going lately. I'm on a terrible treadmill of responsibility and timelines - jam packed with little or no down time. It's all important - to me, so not a question ...

Follow Your Heart

Sun Under Blue Water, 2013 – Light Signatures :: (click to see more) I've been reading the Steve Jobs book by Walter Isaacson. It's very interesting - well, at least to me. I grew up with and was fascinated by computers from an early age right through to my university degree - yes, I have ...

Fear Of The Unknown

Light Spear Over Madras, 2013 – Light Signatures :: (click to see more) For so long now I've been afraid to promote my images to galleries. If I psychoanalyze myself I'm sure I could dig up mountains of excellent, rational, reasons why this is the case - and just because I'm able to name my ...

Naming The Thing

Vertebra And Lung On Blue, 2013 – Light Signatures :: (click to see more) When something is mysterious or unknown to us its potential for bad or good is essentially limitless in our imagination. Because the thing is unknown it's just possible that whatever we care to imagine could be true about it. Originally I ...

Highs and Lows

Turquoise Yellow Red Billowing Veil, 2013 – Light Signatures :: (click to see more) When we're very young every single day is an entire universe of experience. We cry when it's time to sleep - perhaps because we don't want it to end. In time we forget the joy of seeing the world anew each ...

Weight of Life

Green Red Swoops Over Criss-Cross, 2013 – Light Signatures :: (click to see more) Every so often I find myself remembering friends and family I've lost along the way with a lonely and heavy heart.

Resin Trouble

Draped Yellow Green Over Pink, 2013 – Light Signatures :: (click to see more) Been working on the book today - sounds ominous calling it "the book" but there you go. It's actually a touch more difficult than I thought it would be but mostly the hard part is editing which images to include and then ...

A Book

Deep Blue Refracted Orange, 2013 – Light Signatures :: (click to see more) Began working on a book of images today to use as a leave behind when I meet with galleries. But I'm kind of excited by the possibility of offering it as an ebook for free on my site and also as a hardcover ...

Life Arc

Yellow Swoosh Above Crumpled Red, 2013 – Light Signatures :: (click to see more) The more I contemplate my existence in the context of increased longevity the more it seems my life arc has a fairly small set of possible themes and stages. Oh sure in life arcs there are likely infinite variations and nuances just ...

Entropy

This is weird but I've always thought of entropy as the ultimate force in the verse - something to seriously contend with. And my answer to this ultimate of irreducible forces was to counter with creation. Cheesy as this sounds, I think this is the essential reason I make things - at least on a ...

Schism

Green Streaks and Cyan, 2013 – Light Signatures :: (click to see more) It was a struggle to make this today for a lot of reasons. But the more I make things the more I feel I'm onto something - both internally and externally. Internally, because of my health pursuits - a mild way of ...

Past Present Future

Blue Ghost Form Red Streak, 2013 – Light Signatures :: (click to see more) Last night I forced myself to plow through the remaining three boxes of soaked and moldering correspondence, notes and journals left over from my studio flood. I found lots of things in there. It was like speed reading - superficially examining ...

Fragile and Fleeting

Wisps Over Green and Blue Streaks, 2013 – Light Signatures :: (click to see more) My studio was flooded out in the huge rain storm we had in Toronto two weeks ago. It was heartbreaking to say the least. Last night I began going through the several boxes of papers that were soaked in the ...

Effortless

Translucent Distorted Green Streaks, 2013 – Light Signatures :: (click to see more) Lately it's been difficult to settle down and make images. There are lots of the typical reasons for this, but in mulling it over, I think part of my problem is the fun factor - ie not enough at the moment. Which ...

What Are We Doing?

Pastel Blue Green Over Orange, 2013 – Light Signatures :: (click to see more) In my worst pessimistic moments it feels to me like a few of us managed to convince the remainder of us to replace the bounty of our world with a scarcity economy. We've collectively allowed ourselves to be lulled by these ...

Where Are We Headed?

Red Shapes Over Dark Green, 2013 – Light Signatures :: (click to see more) I try to imagine how the world will all unfold as time moves on but after a certain number of folds it becomes foggy and indistinguishable from my dreams. I hope the world will spin a certain way but it never ...

Simple Pleasures

Red Smear Over Orange Brown, 2013 – Light Signatures :: (click to see more) I've been struggling today with fatigue and disillusionment. Trying to think about what to write and not too happy with myself in general - in short -  moping. But as I'm finishing this image I'm thinking what would it take to lift ...
