Over the last 20 years I have produce images for exhibitions, magazines, advertising campaigns and book covers. I use a photomontagetechnique that has developed from come from taking pictures of fragments. At first glance they might seem negligible things to which no-one would normally pay no attention. Nevertheless, these fragments and details hold an intrinsic beauty and attract my eye. As Leonardo wrote: “Artists should look into peeling plaster walls until they can see images emerging from the shapes of the plaster.”
