Series I Nos 1-10

The summary of my 2009 Darwin exhibition concluded that future pieces of work would inevitably draw reference from their predecessors, following the unwritten laws of artistic "natural selection". My recent move to North Yorkshire has heightened my interest in the geological evidence for a belief in evolution over creationism, and has encouraged me to look at how ecological changes cause the disintegration of structures. This new body of work incorporates images of rock pools and fossils, together with photographs of the crumbling footprints of our direct ancestors, suggesting both a reflection of the past and maybe a glimpse of the future. Fragments of history captured in rock. Memories of hard edges which have been softened and made round by the forces of nature. Today's footprints become tomorrow's fossil remains.
