“Roads to Rome” was published by the Getty Museum in Los Angeles at the end of 2005. More recently and in some contrast, much of his current work is set in the UK and France and examines the abstract and symbolic nature of the modern built environment. His latest project is a visual journey to find the actual and the metaphysical centre of France. All of his work is presented as limited edition prints often produced on a large scale. The ‘Intersection’ series are montages made by combining large numbers of small images sometimes employing a combination of photography and mixed media such as graphite, charcoal, ink or pastels. This archive is founded upon an extensive collection of photographs of Italy produced over the last twenty-five years and covers a broad range of places and subject matter, both ancient and modern. Further work covers large parts of France, UK and other parts of Europe. The newly revised website uses a refreshingly different themed structure which enables users to quickly access concisely edited selections of images on a range of European places and subjects and now provides the opportunity to purchase online. The collection aims to convey a true sense of place and has been deliberately edited to bear the visual signature of a single photographer rather than following the current conventions in stock imagery. Places and things of colour and beauty are found here, but the collection also stresses a broader historical dimension as well as a passion for the graphic statement and the purity of the monochrome image.
